Subject: Re: [Serusers] Call Forward Billing
Just to expand on "special-casing": Getting user actions into $ can be very
tricky and is very dependent on your billing system. I.e. the capabilities of the type of
invoice records that can be created (and manipulated; rating, VAT, no VAT, customer
discounts, volume discounts, time of day etc etc). You normally have to start there and
trace back: What should the normalized CDRs look like for the billing system to import and
rate them correctly. Then you step backwards again: Your accounting records (start/stop),
what should they look like. The tool taking start/stop records must be capable of
interpreting the records and create normalized CDRs. If you gather accounting records
from multiple sources (PSTN GWs, routers etc), it may make sense to consolidate the record
collection and normalization (i.e. adapt your accounting records to be similar across
sources so you simplify the normalization)-
Puh! This leads us to Jiri's comment: Once you know what you need, you can use
additional AVPs/flags in acc table.
g-)
PS! In the PSTN world, the forwarding party/C-number is often added in a third column in
the records and one set of start/stop will exist for each call leg. If present, the
C-number will be used for charging.

It is a configuration thing. It appears a misconception to me to build special-casing in
SER. acc module can store additional AVPs or flags in acc table. These can indicate
reverse charging at your convenience, to be processed by your favorite CDR postprocesssing
tool. Moreover, if done well, all the authentication-authorization-accounting process can
be, if configured properly, brought to the same least common denominator, which is AVP --
you authenticate someone, check if his ACLs expressed as an AVP permit a call (e.g.,
'international'), account it (possibly with additional AVPs/flags providing
additional hints for how to interpret the CDR). -jiri At 19:49 10/07/2006, Rosa De

Thanks for your answer. And this functionality is not present in SER ? Rosa.

making call forward ? I'm trying to change the billed user when A calls B, B forwards

idea, please? Thanks Rosa.
