Extension Call Accounting Report

Extension Call Accounting report provides a quick overview of the bills for outbound calls made by extensions via specific trunks, and can be broken down to specific extensions, groups of extensions, or organizations of extensions. This topic introduces how to access the report and explains the key metrics in detail.

Prerequisites

You have set up at least one call rate rule, otherwise the system wouldn't know how to charge outbound calls.
