INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION
ITU-T RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
Rec. No. : D.176
Title : Transmission in encoded form of telephone reversed charge
billing and accounting information
Study Group : III - Tariff and Accounting Principles
Version : Revised
Date of adoption : 1992
Notes :
Under the provisions of Recommendation D.174 where the chargeable
duration of a reversed charge telephone call is determined in the
outgoing country, the details of the call should be transmitted
promptly to the distant Administration to enable it to perform
customer billing and in certain circumstances initiate international
accounting.
A growing number of Administrations are processing telephone call
data using computer based accounting systems. Information is drawn
from traffic history tapes or from manually encoded data such as
telephone tickets. It is usual, at present, to convert computer
output from this processing to conventional printed accounts for
dispatch to other Administrations. Where the receiving Administration
also uses computer facilities, however, this information has to be
re-encoded for further processing.
Transmission of data in encoded form avoids the decoding/reencoding
step. It also offers a faster transfer of information than by printed
forms through the mail. The latter remains true even if the
forwarding Administration has prepared the data by manual/mechanical
means.
The aim of Recommendation D.176 is to present a standard data record
format for the various elements of information to be transferred.
