 Rate Cards are used when selling telephony-based services and pertains to how usage charges are calculated. A ''rate card'' is a collection of ''rates''. A rate defines ''what'' and ''how'' the system charges for a given call or type of usage record.
 Cumulus is very flexible and powerful when it comes to rating usage and caters for both simple rating (e.g. markup, flagfall) and complex rating (tiered rates) scenarios. For a detailed look into how Emersion identifies and rates usage, please see the Ratings section.
 Emersion's supports the following rate profiles:
@@ Line 24: / Line 35: @@
 |-
 | '''Capped''' || Applies a price per time interval once the initial free time has been reached up to a maximum value, with a flagfall, minimum charge, maximum cost, maximum type (i.e. $ or time), initial free time, charge interval, price per charge interval, and price interval
 |-
 | '''FF + Markup %''' || Applies a flagfall and increases the supplier charge by the defined percentage
 |}
-In addition, some rate profiles allow multiple tiers to be configured to charge at different rates at various usage limits on a single usage type (i.e. the rate per, excess, simple cap, and capped rating methods). <br />
+==== Tiered Rating ====
-''For example, a rate per rating method for a telephony service, set with multiple tiers that may apply $0.50c per minute for a call up to a value of $10, and then apply $0.30c per minute for the call from $10.01 up to a value of $30, and then apply $0.18c per minute for the remaining call usage.''
+Tiered rating is achieved by using 2 or more "Steps". Each step will contain a set of rate configurations, of which would be determined by the rate profile selected - as per above table <br />
+* Only 'Rate Per', 'Excess', 'Simple Cap' & 'Capped' allow multiple tiers to be configured to charge at different rates at various usage limits on a single usage type.
-Rate Cards are attached to [[ServicePlans/ServicePlans|Service Plans]] that are for telephony service types, such as Optus Mobile, Telstra Mobile, Telstra eBill, AAPT Rebill, and other telephony-based plans. If a service plan is a data plan, or a plan that has no usage associated with it, you do not need to link a Rate Card.
+''For example, a rate per rating method for a telephony service, set with multiple tiers that may apply $0.25c Flagfall, $0.25c per minute (60 seconds) for a call up to a value of $2 (giving 7 mins (420 seconds) call time for $2), and then additional time charged at $0 up to 20 mins (1200 seconds), followed by simply charging $0.25c per minute (60 seconds) for the remaining call usage''

 A ''Rate'' can be entered against a tariff or a tariff group.

+== Tariff Groups ==
 Tariffs are hierarchical in nature and are grouped using ''Tariff Groups''. An example of a tariff group would be ''International Calls''. With an International group in place, all the tariffs for each country can be grouped under the International Calls tariff group.

+== Maintaining Multiple Rate Cards ==
-A Rate Card can be attached to multiple service plans, removing the need to maintain rate cards for each individual plan. In order to maintain the minimum set of rate cards that is required, Service Providers should spend a little time up front analysing how many rate cards they require for both BUY and SELL, and eliminate the use of any superfluous rate cards.

 ==== SELL Rate Cards ====
-To acertain how many SELL Rate Cards you require for a service type category/service type, you will need to analyse how many customers are on different rates for the same product. This is not to be confused with monthly access fees or set up fees, as these will likely be confugured against the service plan.  But in terms of usage, customers with negotiated rates will need a rate card.

 Emersion recommend that you start with setting up a single SELL rate card with your default rates in it. These can most likely can be linked to multiple service plans and subscribed to by any customer who qualifies for your 'standard rates'.
