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 a certain code. For example, 60 min for the Calls service
Unmatched PriceDefine a price for all codes which that do not satisfy quality parameters (Code min volumeMin 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 indicate indicated in the an example (see screenshot above). If you press click either Generate To file, Create Rate Table or Update Rate Table button buttons on May 1616th, at, for example, 15.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, 15.3:25 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:

List of functional buttons, presented in the tab, includes:

Button/IconDescription

(warning)   Attention

Please be advised that these parameters work in combination with Quality Options in generator settings. It means that if ASR% 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 volumeMin Volume field, but also if their ASR complies with the value, indicated in the ASR, % field. The same behaviour 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 ASR ACD ranges for target code that are checked in a Summary Report by the rates generator
Force Rates Settings

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

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

Select one or multiple sources for picking data for a new price list

  • Rate Tables

Specify source rate tables

  • Terminators
Specify a vendors (termination clients) for this rule
Margins

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

If the rate for indicate an indicated code is within the ranges 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.

Rates Generator generates stashed rates that must be confirmed. When you confirm rates and there are duplicate active rates, it changes the status of an active rate to stashed, and a new confirmed rate (created by a rates generator) becomes active.  You can confirm rates in the Rate Tables section.
