h2. Logic

The forward bundle forwards a billing record to  another number plan and plan element by  changing the rating code and/or  rating key (in memory only). The new rating code and rating key are defined in the parameters of the forward bundle.

In core <= 8.12, no subscription bundles were saved. In core >= 8.13, subscription bundles are saved, and thus visible in the GUI.

h3. Parameters
2&nbsp;parameters&nbsp;are required by the bundle;
| RATINGCODE&nbsp; \\ | Alternative rating code used in place of the CDR's Rating Code for rating. e.g. "RATINGCODE=VOICE-SPECIAL"&nbsp; \\ |
| RATINGKEY&nbsp; \\ | Alternative rating key used in place of the CDR's Rating key for rating&nbsp;.e.g. "RATINGKEY=FIXED"&nbsp; \\ |


1 optional parameter can be set
| HOOKPOINT_KEY&nbsp; \\ | Can be used to configure a dynamic part for the hookpoint "RATING.BUNDLE.FORWARD" which will be invoked and can override the rating code and rating key&nbsp; \\ |






h3. Examples







h4. Bundle Configuration
Here is a sample of a bundle configured to apply voice call pricing to subscriptions to which the bundle is assigned:

| Name&nbsp; \\ | Fixed Voice Bundle&nbsp; \\ |
| Code&nbsp; \\ | Forward&nbsp; \\ |
| Recurrence&nbsp; \\ | None |
| Parameters | RATINGCODE=VOICE-SPECIAL;RATINGKEY=FIXED \\ |







h4. Sample Scenario

A customer with this sample bundle makes a fixed voice call. Assume the billing_record is mediated to have RATING_CODE=VOICE-NATIONAL&nbsp;and RATING_KEY=FIXED, this&nbsp;rating_code and rating_key is used to identify a number_plan and &nbsp;plan_element. If this plan_element has an active Forward bundle for the customer, the billing_record's rating_code and rating key are altered to "VOICE-SPECIAL" and "FIXED" temporarily. A new&nbsp;number_plan and &nbsp;plan_element will be retrieved and used to complete the rating.
\\
{info}Note that the change in the billing_record's rating_code and rating_key by the bundle will not be saved.&nbsp;

h2. Conflicts When Used with Other Bundles

As long as the bundle is active, it will always take precedence, if it has the highest&nbsp;priority.
