Chapter 4.3.5 - Interstate/Intrastate Determination

The Communications REST v2 Interstate/Intrastate Determination feature allows you to apply interstate or intrastate charges without specifying either the transaction type or the service type.

To use the Interstate/Intrastate Determination feature (pick one):

  • Transaction Type Determination: Set the transaction type (tran) to "-1" and a valid service type (serv)
  • Service Type Determination: Set the transaction type (tran) to a valid transaction type and the service type (serv) to "-1"

REST v2 determines the correct interstate or intrastate transaction or service type based on the jurisdiction and Transaction/Service Pair provided.
