[Serusers] Re: [Serdev] Stop Radius Accounting on Status 404.

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi Omar!

Ser generates the start record when the invite transaction succeeded. 
When the INVITE transcation fails due to a 404, there will be no start 
record (except you account also failed_transactions).

I think I don't understand your setup correctly.

Klaus
