Information BlockDescription
Simplify ModeIt allows applying the same price for all codes inside the same code name by using three options:
  • min
minimum available price.
  • max
maximum available price.
  • avg
average price of all available.
Example

For instance, if the USA code name consists of 3 codes with 1, 5, and 6 USD rates respectively, depending on a chosen option, the results will be:

CodeSource Rate

Result Rate for minResult Rate for maxResult Rate for avg

Codes Optimization checkbox

This option allows compressing an imported code range. For example, 4400-4409 will be shortened to 440. At the same time, 4400-4491 will be shortened to 440, ..., 448, 4490, 4491.

Adjust Options

TheAdjust Results checkbox enables section enables results adjusting by data from a currently selected selected Code Deck. It means that the number of codes in your source rate table (specified in rules after a new rates generator is created) must be equal to the number of codes in your Code Deck. If your Code Deck has only 5 codes, but a rate table has 10, those extra codes, that are not specified in a selected Code Deck, will be removed from a generated rate table. On the other hand, if your Code Deck has 15 codes, but a rate table has only 5, 10 extra codes will be added to a generated rate table with parameters, specified in this information block. A detailed example is provided in the table below.

...

FieldDescription
TagSpecify a tag that will be applied to new rates, if such were created by a rates generator. Let's leave the default @ tag
PolicySelect the policy (regular or additive) that will be applied to code(s) presented in a code deck, but not in a source rate table. For example, Regular policy
RateDefine a rate for codes, which are present in a code deck but missing in a rule's source rate table. For example, 7.5 USD
Setup FeeDefine a setup fee for a new rate(s). For example, 8 USD
Min VolumeIndicate minimum volume for a new rate(s). 6 sec, for instance
IntervalSpecify the interval for a new rate(s). For example, 2 sec
Grace VolumeDetermine grace volume for those rates. For example, 2 sec
Time ProfileDefine a time profile for a new rate(s). For instance, leave the default all time profile
Example

Let's say our DEFAULT code deck contains 5 codes: 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, 1205. But our source rate table has 4: 1201, 1202, 1203, and 1205. If you enable Adjust Results and specify the above-mentioned fields with respective parameters, a new rate table, created by a rates generator, will consist of 5 codes: 1201,1202, 1203, 1205 with their original parameters and a new 1204 code with the following ones (see screenshot above):

FieldValue

Code NameAccording to DEFAULT code deck
Rate7.5
Setup Fee8
Min Volume6
Interval2
Grace Volume2
Time Profileall time
Tag@

If a source rate table misses more than 1 code from the selected code deck, all added codes will have identical parameters, specified in the respective fields above.

...

FieldDescription
Detect FakeEnable detection of fake rates if at least a specified number of rates is present in all source rate table, specified in generator rules.
Skip DistanceA percentage value of the difference between the average rate value and a particular rate from all rates, used for the Detect Fake operation.
Rate Position

Define what rate from a total amount of rates left after Detect Fake operation will be used for certain code.

Rates are ordered from the cheapest to the most expensive. Thus, if you specify 1, The system will use the cheapest rate, if 2 - the second cheapest, and so on.

Example

Let's say we have 4 rules in our rates generator, each with a different source rate table. Each rate table has a rate for the 1201 code, but with different prices in USD:

Rate Table NameRate
RT 10.98
RT 20.2
RT 31.1
RT 41.7

In Advanced Options of rates generator settings, we've specified values seen in the screenshot above. It means that the system will pick all 4 rates for the 1201 code and execute the following actions:

  1. Count an average rate for all 4 rates that equals 0.99 USD.
  2. Count the interval of 15% for an average rate of 0.99 USD that is between 0.85 USD and 1.13 USD. Then the system will compare all rates and skip 1.7 USD rate from RT 4 and 0.2. USD rate from RT 2.
  3. Since the Rate position field value is 2, the system will pick the second cheapest rate for this code that is 1.1 from RT 3 and apply it as a basic rate for 1201 code in a new rate table created by a rates generator.

...

FieldDescription
Analyze PeriodDefine a number of hours to analyze the Summary Report for. For example, 24 hours
Code Min VolumeDefine a minimum event volume for certain code. For example, 60 min for the Calls service
Unmatched PriceDefine a price for all codes that do not satisfy quality parameters (Code Min Volume value). For example, 100 USD
Example

For example, you created a new rates generator and set up 3 rules for the following codes: 1201, 1202, 1205 with 1.5, 2.5, and 5.5 USD rates respectively. In the Quality options, the respective parameters are the same as indicated in an example (see screenshot above). If you click Create Rate Table or Update Rate Table buttons on May 16th, at, i.e., 3:25 PM, the rates generator will run a Summary Report with the following parameters:

Field Value
PeriodMay 15, 15.25 PM - May 16, 3:25 PM
Code1201, 1202, 1205
Total Volume60

Subsequently, a report showed that the billed volume for 1201 code is 79 mins, 1202 - 49 mins, and 1205 - 61 mins. As a result, a newly generated rate table will contain the following data:

(warning)   Attention

Please be advised that these parameters work in combination with Quality Options in generator settings. It means that if ASR, % is set to 85-95 when a rates generator creates a Summary Report, it will analyze codes not only by their volumes, indicated in the Code Min Volume field, but also if their ASR complies with the value, indicated in the ASR, % field. The same behavior is expected for the specified ACD, min field

 

  • ASR, %
Specify ASR ranges for target code that are checked in a Summary Report by the rates generator
  • ACD, min
Specify ACD ranges for target code that are checked in a Summary Report by the rates generator

Specify additional parameters that must be noted when picking destinations from sources:

  • Setup Fee
  • Min. Volume
  • Interval
  • Grace Volume
  • Time Profile

Margins

By clicking on the icon, you can add a margin to a respective rate.


If the rate for an indicated code is within the range of rates, defined in the Rate> and Rate≤ fields, a margin (specified in respective currency or %) will be applied to this rate. Add the % symbol to the Add Margin field value to indicate that a margin is in percent.
