Tip

title	Tip

As Packages are applied after the Rate identification in the system, it's important to understand which type of a Package will be used in a particular case. Let's say we have a Client with both Orig and Term roles in the system with the following setup:

both Customer and Vendor type Packages assigned with limits for '1' destination
orig Rate for '1' destination
term Rate for 1' destination

If this Client has MADE a call for '1' destination, the system will be going to create a negative Transaction for this call. As we have a respective Customer type

will be applied to termination traffic regardless of the rate

Package assigned, it will be used to bill this call.

The same Client has RECEIVED a call for '1' destination, the system will be going to create a positive Transaction for this call. As we have a respective Vendor type Package assigned, it will be used to bill this call.

Note: in case of negative pricing (negative Rates for origination or negative Rates for termination), the opposite types of Packages will be used. I.e., if we pay our Client for origination, and they have both Customer and Vendor type Packages assigned, the Vendor type Package will be used to bill origination traffic.

Billing Settings

List of settings concerning the billing feature

Currency

Define a currency for this package

Fees Include Taxes checkbox

If enabled, taxes are included in package prices, if disabled – taxes will be calculated regarding a customer's respective Tax Profile

Align to Payment Terms checkbox

Allows the system to align a package period to customer's Payment Terms, equalizing Package billing with actual invoicing.

Panel

Attention

The length of the first Subscription period can be reduced in order to allow the following periods to match the invoicing periods in the Client's Payment Terms. All the charges and limits of the first period will be proportionally recalculated if the duration of the first period has been reduced.

In order to process it correctly, the Package Period should match the Client's Payment Terms length. Alternatively, the periods of the Package and Payment Terms need to equal to a multiplex number. In this case, we will get equal Package charges in each invoice provided the periods are equal. If the Package period is longer than the Payment Terms length, we will get the Package charges with an equal interval.

Full charge checkbox

Allows forcing full charge and limits for the first period regardless of the enabled Align to Payment Terms option.

Charge on Event checkbox

If enabled, a package subscription fee will be applied when the first call within this package is made. Otherwise, a package would be free.

Setup Fee

Select from a list of available options of setup fee settings:

Charge - setup fee will be charged when an event is billed by volume limit
Don't charge - setup fee won't be charged when limit by volume is used for event billing

Client's Balance

Choose one of the following options:

Allow activating if insufficient- client's package will be activated regardless of the client's balance; however, package limits will be used only when the client's balance is sufficient;
Deny activating if insufficient- client's package will be activated only if there are sufficient funds on the balance

Create Charge on

Determine when the charge should be created:

Pre-activation day - the charge will be created at the end of a current package period;
Activation day - the charge will be created when a new period starts

Tip

title	Tip

This parameter will affect when the Package charge will be included in an Invoice. For example:

the Pre-activation day option is typically used for pre-paid as the system will create a charge just before the Package renewal. Thus, for a monthly Package, a charge for Feb will be created on Jan 31st and fall into Jan Invoice, etc.

the Activation day option is typically used for post-paid as the system will create a charge right on the renewal. So, for a monthly Package, a charge for Feb will be created on Feb 1st and fall into Feb invoice, etc.

Package Application

Priority
