How it Works
The SMF provides the different reporting levels for online and offline charging with the following rules:
-
Configured rules are derived from the static or predefined charging actions.
-
Session-level Usage Reporting Rule (URR) is derived from CHF trigger or local configuration.
-
The SMF does not associate session-level URR for online and offline method charging description.
-
The SMF does not associate session-level URR to the configured charging-action URRs.
-
Rulebase URR is applicable only for the offline configured URR.
-
For the configured online or online-offline charging method, if Ignore Service ID configuration exists, the URR list must contain "rg x urr-id y". Else, the SMF drops the charging actions as malformed.
Important | The SMF supports multiple charging methods within the same rating group. |
