[OpenSIPS-Users] CDRTool destinations /rates question

[Adrian Georgescu]

Hi Brian,

The logic of the rating first determines the destination then it  
searches for a price for it. So for every entry in destinations table  
you MUST have an entry in the rates table otherwise the price is zero.

The best practice is to maintain a central minium destination table  
common for all customers (add entries to it as it grows) and define  
custom rates for each of them. Also if you have lot of resellers you  
can create a main rating table and add only exceptions for the  
destinations particular to some of them.
