Directions and Destinations
Directions refers to countries, or perhaps to a satellite network. The term merely describes the direction in which the call is routed.
"Directions" can be found in SETTINGS – Billing – Directions. You can see all Directions with their details in the main window.
Destinations - these are more concrete concepts of the calls course. Let's say we are dialing number 37068547771. From this number MOR knows that the Direction is Lithuania, but the Destination is the mobile network Bite. Destinations are determined by Prefix. Each destination has a unique Prefix. The Prefix from the example is 370685.
Destinations can have several types/codes:
- FIX – fixed numbers
- MOB – mobile numbers
- NGN – non geographical numbers
IMPORTANT NOTE: When adding new destinations, make sure you include them in some Destination Group. Otherwise you will get corrupted invoices if the user uses a retail tariff.
- QUESTION: How do you import destinations from a file?
- ANSWER: You can import them using the Tariff import script. Just create a dummy tariff, add dummy rates, and import. Destinations will be created automatically. Later you can delete the tariff. Just remember to enter prefixes in E.164 format.
NOTE: You can get a CSV file with all Destinations in the Tariffs window. It is suitable for rate entering and importing back to MOR.
