Introduction

Whenever there are Rate updates or changes in Tariff some sort of communication must be made with Users that are using those Rates. Rate Notifications functionality eases manual tasks by allowing to quickly and automatically create Jobs that informs Users about upcoming (depending on effective from value in the future) Rate prices and also awaits their confirmation whether they agree or disagree with them.

Workflow schema

The workflow can be visualized using the following schema:

RateNotification1.png

Rate Notifications

Rate Notifications is the primary page of the functionality, it displays unique Tariff - User associations to whom Notification can be sent. This page can be found in Menu -> BILLING -> Tariffs -> Rate Notifications

RateNotification2.png

Associated Tariff - User objects are shown only when following conditions are met:

  • Tariff is Sell type;
  • User's Connection Point is assigned Sell Tariff in Origination Point settings;
  • Tariff was modified and does not have any Rate Notification Job created for specific Tariff - User;
  • Tariff was modified and specific Tariff - User Rate Notification was created prior to Tariff modifications.

Creating Rate Notification

In order to create new Rate Notification Jobs, check wanted Tariff - User associations and press Set. All required Notifications can be selected by clicking header checkbox.

After selection, another page will be loaded with options for this specific Notifications. "Selected Tariffs - Users" displays marked associations to whom Notifications will be sent. "Options" has several settings:

  • Email Template: which Template will be used for email. Default "tariff_rate_notification" template is already present in the system and can be modified to fit specific needs. Also new templates can be created, but these templates must have "agree" and "disagree" tags in order to be shown in this dropdown.
  • Rate Notification Type:
    • Delta Only: future Rates only.
    • Full: all future and currently active Rates.
  • Agreement Timeout in days: timeout after which Notification will be automatically marked as disagreed (ignored) if the User did not respond. Timeout adds specified days value to Notification created time.

After pressing the Create button, Jobs will be created and the Rate Notification Jobs page will be loaded.
