Updating TOPAZ SA rates for 16 January 2007

[Belinda Frick]

Before updateing the 16 January 2007 SA rates, ensure that the update for 16 October 2006
was done and that a re-cost was done since 16 October 2006.

If you ran the 16 January 2007 update and re-costed it from 16 October 2007,
please follow the following steps:

Close TOPAZ.
Run the "za-telkom20060801_international_dialprefix_20061016-update-20061018.exe" update.
Open TOPAZ.
Go to 'SETUP -> PROPERTIES -> RATES':
Untick 'Do not add local area prefix ...'.
Select your area file.
Click on 'OPEN'.
You will receive a popup message 'Your rates will now be loaded'.
Click 'OK' for the 'Rates loaded successfully' popup message.
Go to 'RATES -> STANDARDS' to a test.
If the rates test is correct proceed to do a re-costing.
Go to 'SETUP -> PROPERTIES -> RATES', click on 'Re-cost Calls From' and select the
date of 16 October 2006 from the calendar. Click 'OK' to update the call costs from
16 October 2006.

Now all calls since 16 October 2006 will be costed according to the update. This means calls with
00 and 09 is accepted for international calls and you can dial local with or without the area prefix.

Close TOPAZ.
Run the "za-telkom20060801_dialingstd20070116_mobile-update-20070119.exe" update.
Open TOPAZ.
Go to 'SETUP -> PROPERTIES -> RATES':
Tick 'Do not add local area prefix ...'.
Select your area file.
Click on 'OPEN'.
You will receive a popup message 'Your rates will now be loaded'.
Click 'OK' for the 'Rates loaded successfully' popup message.
Go to 'RATES -> STANDARDS' to a test.
If the rates test is correct proceed to do a re-costing.
Go to 'SETUP -> PROPERTIES -> RATES', click on 'Re-cost Calls From' and select the
date of 16 January 2007 from the calendar. Click 'OK' to update the call costs from
16 January 2007.
Now you can pull a report.

Please note:

When a re-costing is done, the cost of the call will change. The 'Prefix' on the report
will display that of the correct costing for the telephone number. However the 'Destination'
displayed on the report will stay what is was before the first re-costing was done (in other
word the destination when the call was first imported into TOPAZ).

If you need to update the 'Destination' you will have to purge the calls in question (TOPAZ
only has a purge prior to option) and then import the pip files with the required rates tables
loaded. This means you must take care with the sequence you import the files and which rates
is loaded at the time. Make sure that the pip files only contain the calls for the date range
you require.

Alternatively you can contact support@datatex.co.za to request an file to delete a date range so
that you can import only this calls.
