There are two ways to add a rate deck to a relationship.
The Rate Deck Generator can be used as a third method to create and assign Termination Customer Rate Decks.
The most common method is to click the + Add Rate Deck button on the Relationship’s Trunk Groups page.
The second method is to use the Quick Add feature. This feature can be accessed from the Relationship page (see image above) or from the Relationships table. In the Relationships table, locate the relationship to modify in the main window and move the mouse to the right of the STATUS field. Left-click the ellipsis and then select Quick Add. Then select Rate deck.
Either of the above methods displays the Add Rating window.

Rounding Digits The number of rounding digits to calculate the cost of the call. For example, a 205-second call is made using a Rate Deck with a 0.00137 rate with a 6-second initial duration and a 6-second increment. This results in 205/6 = 35-time increments (always rounded up). The cost of the call would be 35 * 0.00137 = 0.04765 with 5 or more rounding digits.
Rounding Digits | Cost of the 205 Second Call in Dollars |
|---|---|
1 | 0.1 |
2 | 0.05 |
3 | 0.048 |
4 | 0.0477 |
5 | 0.04765 |
6 | 0.04765 |
7 | 0.04765 |
8 | 0.04765 |
