2 SMCB Feature Node
This chapter describes the Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control (NCC) SMCB Macro feature node available from the SMCB palette group in the ACS Control Plan Editor.
This chapter contains the following topics.
Short Message Charging
This node provides the charging mechanism in an ACS service plan where ever it is required.
This allows a flexible approach to call logic and functionality.
For example, a CCS Friends and Family feature node could be used before the Short Message Charging feature node to provide a discount for sending short messages to friends and family numbers.
