Import Rates from CSV

You are able to import tariff rates from a CSV file by opening Billing -> Tariffs and clicking on the 'IMPORT FROM CSV' link on any given tariff in the list.

  • Step 1.1 File uploading:

After clicking the link you're prompted to select and upload the CSV file you want to import.

  • Step 1.2 Separator selection:

Once the file is uploaded, you'll be shown a minor part of it's content. This step allows you to change the system suggested Column Separator and the Decimal Separator if you think that either one of them is not valid.

  • Step 2 Import settings and column selection

In this step, you're able to change various settings that will effect your import.

Rate Day Type, From-Till: Determines which rate types the new rate values will effect, allowing you to import new rates for Work Days or Free Days rates.
Use Destination Names from file- When this option is selected destination name is updated from CSV file during rate import.
Delete Rates for Prefixes which are not present in imported file: This option allows you to delete existing rates, which will not be updated.(The prefixes that belong to these rates are not a part of the file being imported).
Warn about Rates greater than: This option is is used in Tariff analysis to warn about Rates which are greater than a certain value. This check is disabled by entering 0. Note: The setting does not affect Rate import in any way since it is only used for informational purposes. Column Selection
Ignore Effective from time when updating Rates: When this option is selected only the date part of Effective from value is matched when updating Rates. The option is useful when the CSV file with rates contains only date as Effective from. Note: when there are several rates for the same date and this options is enabled, all the rates for this date will be updated.
Remove Effective From greater than in CSV: Removes existing rates which have Effective From date greater than in CSV file.

Here we must assign columns from the CSV file. Prefix and Rate are mandatory fields. All other fields can be empty.

Effective from date, Connection Fee, Increment and Min. Time have their defaults. If you wish, you can enter values manually for them. Manually entered values have the highest priority. If you omit them, then M2 inserts values from the CSV file. If there is no assigned column for these fields, then default values will be added to database (DB). Action - If this column have keyword DELETE, corresponding rate (prefix) is deleted if already exists in the tariff. If such rate does not exist in the system it will be ignored (not imported). All other values except DELETE in Action column are ignored.

  • Step 3 Column Confirmation

This step allows you to review the settings you've set, and the columns you've assigned, in order to prevent any unintentional user errors.

  • Step 4 Analysis

During this step, the application analizes the CSV file and determines the order of steps that should be taken. Information to be found in the analysis step: DB Analysis Directions in DB Destinations in DB Tariff Rates CSV file analysis File size Total file lines Destinations in CSV file Existing destinations in CSV file New destinations in CSV file bad destinations To do(Steps to be taken) Destinations to create Rates to update New rates to create

  • Step 5 Updating rates

Here M2 updates rates with the values from CSV files. These rates already exist in DB. Just click Proceed.

  • Step 6 Creating new rates

During this step M2 creates new rates for the tariff, which haven't existed in the DB so far.

  • Step 7 Deleting rates

This is the final step. M2 deletes the rates which were not a part of the file being imported. You're all done!
