What are Rated Billing Items?

Rated Billing Items are information generated by the billing engine, that represents a set of services and physical goods that were provided to customers along with the applicable rates and information on how those rates were calculated. They provide information, such as the product that is to be billed, the period for which it will be billed (in case of continuous services) the rate with which it will be charged, any applicable discounts, and in general any information that affects the final billed price of a product

Rated billing items are created by the rating process, either during billing or by manual user intervention.
