Absolute Time Discount

The Absolute Time Discount feature allows for applying a discount to a certain type of usage, such as calls to off-net destinations, within a specified time period from the first usage.

Key features of the Absolute Time Discount feature include:

  1. Time-Based Discount Application: The discount is applied to the rated event within a specified time period from the first usage. This ensures that the discount is relevant to the customer’s usage patterns within the defined time frame.

  2. Threshold Configuration: By setting the MIN and MAX thresholds, you can define the range of the rated amount that qualifies for the discount. This allows for precise control over when the discount is applied.

  3. Validity Time Configuration: You can configure the validity time of the discount application, specifying the duration for which the discount remains active after the first usage. This can be set to various time intervals, such as one hour, till the end of the day, two days, till the end of the week, or even until the end of the billing cycle.

  4. Direct or Event-Based Discount: The discount can be applied directly to the rated event, reducing the billed amount for the specific usage. Alternatively, you can choose to create a new discount event, generating a separate event specifically for the discount amount. This provides flexibility in tracking and reporting the applied discounts.

  5. Real Charging: The discount is applicable in real time when the charge is rated and charged. This ensures that the discount is immediately reflected in the billing process, providing instant benefits to the customer.
