Welcome

Rerating reprocesses transactions for a range of dates previously processed by the Charging Server that were determined to have incorrect results due to errors in the pricing or tax configuration or when a subscription was incorrectly provisioned. Rerating supports past billing cycle periods for postpaid subscriptions.

When you enable rerating, additional data is emitted and stored during the normal rating process. You then use the Rerating Workbench user interface to create a rerating job by:

  • Specifying a range of dates to be rerated.
  • Specifying a specific set of subscriptions to rerate or criteria for selecting subscriptions to rerate.
  • Specifying a compiled pricing file.
  • Indicating whether there is a change to tax status.

For each rerating job, a set of rerating tasks is created, one task for each subscription. After creating a rerating job, you can monitor the rerating job status using the Rerating Workbench user interface.

The following features are not included in this release of rerating:
  • Rerating with groups.
