But in case of 404 the record should be in missed calls table, so B can 
see that someone tried to call it. The 200OK is recorded in acc table so 
you can bill it.

you can give the reason as parameter to acc_db_request, but it does not 
have much flexibility. However, there is another flag for  failed 
transactions

You may get what you want by using this.
