Pricing Based on Standard Zone Model

You can now model usage price plans for simple atomic offerings based on standard zone model with attribute-based pricing.

A standard zone model is based on the origin and destination numbers of a call. It contains rules that associate a pair of origin and destination numbers with a zone impact category. To specify origin and destination numbers, you must include an international access code (the code used to dial out of the country in which the phone number is located). Optionally, you can also include a country code (the code used to dial in to the country in which the phone number is located), an area code, a region code, a city code, a phone number prefix, and so on, up to and including the entire phone number.

The standard zone model needs to be first setup using the new REST API end point https://<HOST_NAME>/crmRestApi/atcProductCatalog/11.13.18.05/productCatalogReferenceManagement/v1/customProfileSpecification with profileType set as STANDARD_ZONE.

The zone impact category needs to be configured in the common business configuration.

Example: Sample standard zone model

0091 975 IC_BHUTAN
