Add code group set

Here you can create a set of code groups, where each group contains a specific batch of phone prefixes (rate codes).

To add a new code group set, click + Add and fill in the details. To save the code group set configuration, click Save. To save and continue editing the code group set details, click Save & Edit details. To create more code group sets, click Save & Add a copy.

On this tab, you can define general settings for a code group set.

Type a unique name for the code group set.

Select the code group set type:

• Regular – includes only the code groups created by the admin and the rate codes added to them. The admin selects rate codes from the general list and can add each to one or more code groups within the set. This type is used for configuring tariffs, bundles, and invoice pre-processing.
• Regular with unique prefixes – includes only the code groups created by the admin and the rate codes added to them. The admin selects rate codes from the general list, but each rate code can be added to only one code group within the set. This type is used for tariffs with prices defined per code group (CLI+CLD rating).
• Complete match – includes all rate codes available in PortaBilling: every rate code belongs either to the Default group or to a code group created by the admin. Complete code group sets are useful for ensuring that all destinations available in PortaBilling are covered, e.g., to monitor international traffic and detect fraudulent calls.

Rate match mode defines how the system determines the applicable rate by finding a matching rate code.

If no rate match mode is selected, the code group set can be used for any service type. However, such a code group set cannot be used for tariffs with origin-based rates or zone-based rates (e.g., for calls within/outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or US inter/intra-state).

The following options are available:

• None (default) – no rate match mode is defined.
• Destination – the system determines the applicable rates based on the destination phone number. This is a typical setting for voice calls and messaging services. A code group set with this mode can be used for standard tariffs, as well as for those with origin-based rates or zone-based rates (e.g., for calls from within/outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or US inter/intra-state).
• Destination E.212 – similar to the Destination mode, but used when rate codes are defined in the E.212 format (MCC/MNC pair for mobile network identification).
• Origination – the system determines the applicable rates based on the origin phone number. This mode is used to apply extra rates based on the origin of the call or message (in tariffs with origin-based rates).
• Origination E.212 – similar to the Origination mode, but used when rate codes are in the E.212 format (MCC/MNC pair for mobile network identification).
• Your custom rate match mode – you can select a previously created custom rate match mode.

If you selected a specific rate match mode, choose an applicable service type.

On this tab, you can create code groups to include them in the code group set and view all included code groups together with unassigned rate codes.

To create a code group, click + Group and fill in the details.

To edit a code group, click its name or click Edit .

To delete a code group, click Delete for that code group.
