In the example above,the price is defined in the element Group 1. The elements below Group 1 do not point to a charge item; the parent defines the price. Remember that if double dot ''..'' is not put in the beginning of the children, then they will not call the parent ''.'' for accessing the charge item, hence the rating would fail. Since the parent Group 1 is defining the charge item so it is being edited to use ''.'' in the beginning and not the double dot ''..''.

Step 6 - Check the Rate Days Now the rating process looks at the configured rate days. The rating process will compare the event/charge date present within the billing record with the start and end dates listed in the 'Rate Day' configuration. In order to look at the 'Rate Day' configuration, select the relevant plan element and then have a look at the 'Rate Day' panel. Please note that the charge/event date should be equal to or should lie between the configured dates. In the screenshot it can be seen that the rate day is 'N-SINGLE' and has an open start and end date. !rate days.jpg|border=1! h3. Step 7 - Check the Day Charges After the rating process has found the rate day, it looks at the day charges. It again compares the charge/event data present in the billing record with the configured day charges. In order to look at the 'Day Charge' configuration, select the relevant 'Rate Day' and then click *Edit*. On the 'Edit Rate Day' pop-up, there will be a 'Day Charge' panel. Please note that the day the charge/event took place should be within the configured days. In the screenshot it can be seen that all the days of the week are selected for the rate day 'N-SINGLE'. !day charge.jpg|border=1! h3. Step 8 \- Check the Time Charges After looking at the day charge, the rating process looks at the time the event occured. The rating process would look at the start and the end time configured for the day the event occurred. In order to look at the 'Time Charge' configuration, select the relevant 'Day Charge', to see the 'Time Charge' configured for the selected day. Please note that the time the event took place should be within an already configured time charge. In the screenshot below the time configured is 00:00 til 24:00. !time charge.jpg|border=1! h3. Step 9 - Find the Charge Items The rating process will now look at the charges defined for the time the event took place. It would pick up the relevant charge and use it for rating the event. In order to look at the configured charge items, double click or *Edit* the 'Time Charge'. In the 'Edit Time Charge' pop-up, the configured charge items are present. Please note that the charge item for the time selected should be present, otherwise there can be no rating and the rating would fail. In the screenshot below, both the 'Initial' and 'Recurrent' charge items have been configured. !charge item.jpg|border=1! h3. Step 10 - Successfully Rated Billing Record If there are no missing or misconfigured items in each of the above mentioned steps, and they run successfully, then the rating process will result in the successful rating of the billing record. The output of a successfully rated billing record is an invoice detail line, linked to the original billing record. {note}Any missing information or misconfigured items on any step of the rating process will result in failure of the rating process, and the respective billing record will end up in the 'Error Queue'.{note} {table-plus} |
