single call by CDR and by ASAI Advice of Charge. However, CDR Call 
Splitting will apply if there are subsequent transfers of the call, provided 
that CDR call splitting is enabled.
AOC and CDR many both receive charge information from the network about the 
same trunk.
The parameters in the System Parameters CDR form that affect the contents of 
the Calling Number in a Call Detail Record will affect the Charging Number in a 
Charging Event Report the same way.
Call Splitting
If Call Splitting is enabled on the CDR System Parameters form, the charging 
number field in the Charging Event Report may change - depending on whether 
the call was conferenced or transferred.
NOTE:
See ‘‘Conference’’ on page 12-27 and ‘‘Transfer’’ on page 12-55 in this 
chapter for more information on AOC interactions with Call Splitting.
If call splitting is enabled and the charging party transfers the call, then ASAI will 
receive a charging event for the first portion of the call. This charging event will 
indicate the charge amount accumulated to the current time, and the number to 
charge against. The charge type will be reported as “split charge.” Subsequent 
charge events will be against a new charging number (usually the transferred-to 
station). The charge amounts in these subsequent charge events will be adjusted 
downward by the amount that was charged to the first charging party. 
Call Splitting also applies if the charging party conferences a third party, and then 
the charging party disconnects from the call. However, if the charging party 
disconnects from a call and leaves three or more parties on the call, then call 
splitting is not applied. Charges continue to accumulate against the original 
charging party until the call ends or call splitting occurs.
The “split charge” reported (due to CDR call splitting) will not include a Party 
Identifier IE.
Both CDR and CDR Call Splitting must be enabled on the CDR System 
Parameters form for the CDR Call Splitting feature to work.
Split charges are also used for calls of more than ten hours duration. These split 
charges are not considered part of CDR Call Splitting. They are reported whether 
or not CDR Call Splitting is enabled. These charges include a Party Identifier IE. 
See ‘‘Lengthy Calls’’ on page 3-34 of this document for details.
