The OCN Tier to Tier rating method uses groups (tiers) of OCNs (Operating Company Numbers) to conveniently rate usage based on which operating company a call originates and terminates in and whether the call is switched or dedicated.
Entering paired OCN tiers in the Location field of a rate Detail record, specifies the rate the system charges for usage between or within operating companies.
To accomplish this, the following needs to be done:
-
Create OCN Tier Types as described in Data Management. See OCN Tier Types.
-
Create OCN Tiers as described in Data Management chapter. See OCN Tiers.
-
Create Rate Plans using the OCN Tier to Tier rating method. Enter the name of the originating OCN Tier and the name of the terminating OCN Tier in the Location field separated by a comma (,). See Rates and Pricing Plans.
-
The tiers can be grouped for display on invoices. To tell the system to display detail and summary information by OCN Tier, select OCN Tier Detail Info and OCN Tier Summary Info in Admin Console > Business Rules > Local Services > XML Invoice Service > server > Invoice Format > format name >Configuration.
