[Spce-user] Remove Billing profile from customer

[gavin.sweet@skyracktelecom.com]

Ok, makes sense.
Nice idea on the alternative ratecards.

Feature request in this area would be to extend ratecard format to include a parameter for a bundle - so that you can define a bundle on a destination by destination basis.

Cheers

No, that's how it's supposed to be. A from/to-date of NULL just means "from the earliest date possible to the latest date possible". If you assign another profile, the start date gets set to the timestamp of the change, and to-date stays null, meaning "from the time in the timestamp to the latest date possible".

What rate-o-mat now does is trying to figure out the closest match (the billing profile which starts and ends at the nearest date of the start date of the call.

This means, that you can theoretically assign a billing profile which starts now and ends in a week (you can't via api/web at the moment, but will be implemented soon), and after that the old billing profile is automatically used again. Pretty useful if you want to give customers special fees for a limited time, e.g. for compensation or promo or whatever.
