##### Arguments

- `ActionID` - ActionID for this transaction. Will be returned.
- `Channel` - Channel name to generate the AOC message on.
- `ChannelPrefix` - Partial channel prefix. By using this option one can match the beginning part of a channel name without having to put the entire name in. For example if a channel name is SIP/snom-00000001 and this value is set to SIP/snom, then that channel matches and the message will be sent. Note however that only the first matched channel has the message sent on it.
- `MsgType` - Defines what type of AOC message to create, AOC-D or AOC-E
  - `D`
  - `E`
- `ChargeType` - Defines what kind of charge this message represents.
  - `NA`
  - `FREE`
  - `Currency`
  - `Unit`
- `UnitAmount(0)` - This represents the amount of units charged. The ETSI AOC standard specifies that this value along with the optional UnitType value are entries in a list. To accommodate this these values take an index value starting at 0 which can be used to generate this list of unit entries. For Example, If two unit entires were required this could be achieved by setting the paramter UnitAmount(0)=1234 and UnitAmount(1)=5678. Note that UnitAmount at index 0 is required when ChargeType=Unit, all other entries in the list are optional.
- `UnitType(0)` - Defines the type of unit. ETSI AOC standard specifies this as an integer value between 1 and 16, but this value is left open to accept any positive integer. Like the UnitAmount parameter, this value represents a list entry and has an index parameter that starts at 0.
- `CurrencyName` - Specifies the currency's name. Note that this value is truncated after 10 characters.
- `CurrencyAmount` - Specifies the charge unit amount as a positive integer. This value is required when ChargeType==Currency.
- `CurrencyMultiplier` - Specifies the currency multiplier. This value is required when ChargeType==Currency.
  - `OneThousandth`
  - `OneHundredth`
  - `OneTenth`
  - `One`
  - `Ten`
  - `Hundred`
  - `Thousand`
- `TotalType` - Defines what kind of AOC-D total is represented.
  - `Total`
  - `SubTotal`
- `AOCBillingId` - Represents a billing ID associated with an AOC-D or AOC-E message. Note that only the first 3 items of the enum are valid AOC-D billing IDs
  - `Normal`
  - `ReverseCharge`
  - `CreditCard`
  - `CallFwdUnconditional`
  - `CallFwdBusy`
  - `CallFwdNoReply`
  - `CallDeflection`
  - `CallTransfer`
- `ChargingAssociationId` - Charging association identifier. This is optional for AOC-E and can be set to any value between -32768 and 32767
- `ChargingAssociationNumber` - Represents the charging association party number. This value is optional for AOC-E.
- `ChargingAssociationPlan` - Integer representing the charging plan associated with the ChargingAssociationNumber. The value is bits 7 through 1 of the Q.931 octet containing the type-of-number and numbering-plan-identification fields.
