These directions will be checked in priority order on routing and billingValidSince, ValidUntill: the pricelist may be applied only after a specified date-timePrefix: called number prefix (this will be loaded after “best fit”). Set to ‘*’ to be applied to all directionsPrice: the actual priceCPrice: the price converted in your currency (“currency” entry in the Configuration form and converted after the values specified in the “CurrencyConverter” form)Time Definitions: the time period when this rule is appliedDiff between enduserprice and providerprice means that price will be calculated by extracting the provider cost from the enduser cost for an alreadyexisting cdr record. Cannot be used for realtime (prepaid) price calculations. Usually used when calculating “profit” values.By clicking on the “Clone” button, you can easily duplicate a price list (it is very useful when you have to add only a few modification to a long pricelist)The Billing button is a shortcut to the billing form (does not make the billing automatically)Importing price definitions from file are done by clicking on the “Import from file” button. If you use the “default peak time definition”, the peak settingswill be loaded from the global configuration (peaktimebegin and peaktimeend values). If this is not suitable (different service providers may calculate withdifferent peak-offpeak definitions), you can set up the peak time definition manually (start – end hour).The imported file must have four comma separated field: prefix (direction definition), flat price, peak price and offpeak price. If you use flat price, thanleave the peak and offpeak price fields empty and vice-versa.The easiest way to generate such files is to use Excel, fill the first four columns with these values and save as CVS file. (Don’t leave empty columns beforethe columns with data)Importing price files may take some time, depending from your network connection speed.Pricing example:-a separate provider cost tariff for each of your carriers (where you are forwarding your outgoing calls)-one enduser cost tariff for your wholesale traffic senders (or a separate tariff for each of them)-one enduser cost tariff for your enduser or create a few groups (like premium and regular) and setup different pricing for each of them4.5.2. Price ListOn the List tab you can list all prices for a packet (by using the “Packet” list box) or to a direction (by entering a direction name or a prefix to the filter box)On the Least Cost tab you can compare the prices from different service providers.The Reference Packet usually is the price for your end-users.Only peak (max) prices are compared for every direction.On the Directory Check tab, lookups from the directory table are possible ( directory name – prefix match).4.5.3. BillingThe server automatically calculates the price field for every incoming CDR record, based on price settings ( Section 4.5.1)
