The enhanced Rate Check portal can retrieve and use multi-item details for rate calculation purposes. Details may be retrieved from a related bill segment or from service points linked to a service agreement. Item details are populated in the Items section with the following information:

  • Item Type
  • Start Date
  • End Date
  • Item Count

For a service agreement’s type where bill determinants are required, the Items subsection appears in the Usage Periods section for each respective usage period.  This may be automatically populated as follows depending on the selected Usage Request Method:

  • If Existing Usage is selected and a bill segment is specified, effective item details are retrieved for the bill segment for each respective usage period.
  • If New Usage is selected, effective item details are retrieved from the service points linked to the specified service agreement for each respective usage period.

For a service agreement's type that does not require bill determinants, an Items section appears for the entire bill segment period. This may be automatically populated as follows:

  • If a bill segment is specified, effective item details are retrieved for the bill segment.
  • If a bill segment is not specified, effective item details are retrieved from the service points linked to the specified service agreement for the given period.

In both scenarios or if no service agreement is specified, you can manually override or populate the item details if required for your specific rate calculation scenario.

In addition to the above, the Rate Check – Main tab includes the following improvements:

  • A new Clear button to clear the contents on the portal
  • Service Quantities and Characteristics sections are now optionally collapsible

This provides more complete calculation results when running various rate calculation scenarios.
