Carrier Groups
Carrier groups are collections of individual carrier records. The system
transfers carrier records from the
WM
and places them into the ALLCARRIERS group. However, a single carrier can
belong to more than one group.
- Required?
- You only need to create carrier groups if you need to accrue charges differently depending on which carrier is specified in a transaction.
- Additional Information
- After you create Carrier groups, you can assign them to Bill Groups. Bill groups are customer-specific and identify Partner groups, Carrier groups, and Item groups that will then be associated with the contract detail line. If a Carrier group is specified on a Bill group, and that Bill group is used on a contract, the system will only use the associated event group and rate group when transactions occur for one of the carriers specified in the Carrier group.
