Creating billing rates


This module helps us to set a monetary rate for the usage of a channel, and produce a bill for the talking time of a call. Depending on the configuration of our IP-PBX regarding trunks and outbound routes, we can set this feature.

How to do it…

  1. Click on the Reports | Billing menu.

  2. In the left frame, click on the Billing Setup link.

  3. Select the trunks to which we will assign the cost of usage.

  4. Click on the Billing Capable button.

  5. This process is shown in the following screenshots:

  6. Click on the Rates section.

  7. Edit the current rate or create a new one by clicking on the Create New Rate button (as shown in the screenshot). The information we must enter is as follows:

    • Prefix: This is the prefix the system will catch in order to apply this rate

    • Rate (by min): This is the cost per minute we can assign to a rate

    • Creation Date: 2013-02-24 21:14:51

    • Name: Name of the rate

    • Rate offset: A connection value for this rate

    • Trunk: This indicates the trunk to which the calls will be rated

    • Hidden Digits...
