2.3.3   Rating Plan

To execute a tree, the solution using ERE will select a Rating Plan and execute it with a specific time. A rating plan contains zero or more rating periods with unique start times. The start times creates a time line and only one rating period is valid for execution at any one time. This enables scheduling of the selection logic. The rating periods contained in the rating plan must be associated with the same service and belongs to one service provider only.

A timeline of how rating periods in a rating plan are executed may be seen in Figure 3.

For information on a rating plan may be configured, see Section 4.5.3.3.
