ASAI and Set Value Capabilities

3.If VDN Return Destination is assigned, the Flexible Billing feature may not be able to function as desired because the new connection may result in the need for a different billing option that cannot be overridden, or may result in different rates that would inappropriately be applied to the previous connection(s).

Thus if a call with the Returned Destination specified has the Flexible Billing trunk/call flag set, the Returned Destination is ignored and the call is forced to disconnect.

4.Flexible Billing works in a conference call arrangement as long as the identity of the incoming call is recognizable and the ASAI host controlling the billing change requests, resides on the local ECS.

If two incoming calls are conferenced together, each with a Flexible Billing user, the operation of the feature is unpredictable if the proper incoming trunk call cannot be identified.

5.Subsequent rate requests work as follows:

If original and subsequent requests are “flat charge” or if both are “new rate,” the amount of change is overwritten. The time stamp at which the change is to be applied remains the same as when the original change was requested.

If the original request is “Premium Charge” or “Premium Credit,” the subsequent request can be either “Premium Charge” or “Premium Credit.” The amount of the request and the type of request replaces the original request. The two requests are not arithmetically combined. The time stamp at which the change is to be applied remains the same as when the original change was requested.
