Prev Next

The Rule Details section of the Unbillable Rules window displays the following columns:

CDR File Format

Code assigned by CostGuard to a CDR file when it is processed, such NOK, CLS, NOG.

Event Type

Classification of a CDREvent. Valid Event Types: MobileVoice, MobileMessage, MobileData, MobileContentDownload.

Threshold

The Threshold value is the value the system uses to determine if the specified action must be taken. The threshold value depends on the particular rule. For example, if you want to bypass all Mobile Voice records with less than $1.00 of chargeable usage, you would enter 1 in the Threshold field of the "RTE079, Charged units below minimum accepted value" Unbillable Code. If you do not specify a value, the threshold value is set to unlimited.

Action

Action describes the action the system performs on an unbillable usage record.

Note

You can only change an action if the Unbillable Code is not locked.

Only three actions are accepted:

  • Ignore Rule - Validation of the rule is ignored and the record is loaded even though it would not pass validation.

  • Bypass Record - The system moves the record to the parse database with a notation that it was bypassed. Bypassed records are not displayed within Usage Management.

  • Spin Record - Records violating the rule are added to a usage database with the Unbillable Code that it violated. A spun record is displayed in Usage Management and must be worked to resolve the problem.

    Note

    Not all Actions are accepted by all Unbillable Codes. Only the accepted actions are displayed in the drop-down list for each code.
