The Unit Charge panel allows you to configure the unit prices for a PBX phone system. When a call is made, OPERA Cloud looks at all defined variables/parameters to try and identify the call and assign a unit charge. If OPERA Cloud is unable to identify the call based on the variables/parameters defined in the system, OPERA Cloud identifies the call as a House call and the default charge is used.
