Pre-Charged Events

The Pre-Charged Events service facilitates the charging of events that have already been rated by an external system, such as a rating engine. This service is particularly useful in scenarios like electricity consumption in a data center, where Event Data Records (EDRs) already contain the relevant consumption and price information.

Key features of the Pre-Charged Events service include:

Seamless Integration: The service integrates seamlessly with external rating engines, retrieving rated event data, including consumption details and calculated prices.
Data Validation: The service validates and verifies the rated event data from the external system to ensure accuracy and consistency during the charging process.
Billing Calculation: Using the rated event data, the service performs the necessary calculations to determine the appropriate charges. This may involve applying pricing models, discounts, or other configurable parameters.
Flexible Charging Models: The service supports various charging models, allowing customization based on specific business requirements. It can accommodate different pricing structures, thresholds, and tariff configurations to meet the needs of the data center or other relevant industries.
Integration with Billing System: After completing the charging process, the service integrates seamlessly with the billing system to generate invoices or billing statements reflecting the charged amounts.
