Call Budget on Trunk
Call Budget on Trunks is an expense control feature of NAVAN that enables you to keep track of the cost of phone
calls made from the different Trunks of NAVAN.
With this feature, each trunk can be allotted a 'budget' limit for outgoing calls. This budget limit can be configured to
be reloaded manually each time it is exceeded or on a scheduled date, which may be either daily or a particular
date of the month.
There are three types of Call Budget limits that can be set on the trunks:
• Amount: In this type of Call Budget, a fixed amount is assigned to the trunk. By default the amount of
999999 (to be considered in the local currency) is set as Call Budget Amount on trunks. With Amount-
based Call Budget you can control the actual expense incurred on making calls from a trunk.
• Minutes: In this type of Call Budget, a fixed number of Minutes are assigned to the trunk. By default,
999999 minutes are assigned as Call Budget Minutes on trunks. This type of Call Budget is useful when
the Service Provider offers 'Free' minutes. For example, the Service Provider allows the customer to make
calls for the first 1000 minutes every month. The customer can avail of this offer using Minutes-based Call
Budget on the trunk port.
• Number of Calls: In this type of Call Budget, you can define the maximum number of calls that can be
made from a trunk. By default, the maximum number of Call Budget - Calls is set to 9999 calls on the
trunks. This type of Call Budget is useful when the Service Provider offers a certain number of free calls or
a certain number of free calls for a fixed period. For instance, the Service Provider offers 150 free calls per
month.
With a Call Budget allotted to a trunk, the users can make calls from the trunk as long as the budget limit set for the
trunk (i.e. the Amount or Minutes or the maximum number of Calls) is not crossed. Once the budget limit is
exceeded, the trunk gets disabled automatically and no outgoing calls are allowed to be made from the trunk.
The consumed Budget can be reset, after which it becomes functional again and allows outgoing calls to be made.
The consumed Call Budget can be reset manually, i.e. anytime, as required/desired, or on a scheduled date either
daily or on a particular date of the month.
How it works
Call Budget can be enabled on all trunk port types - CO, Mobile, SIP. Each trunk can be assigned a different Call
Budget, depending on the requirement of the users.
When Call Budget is enabled on a trunk port, for each outgoing call,
• The system checks the type of Call Budget set on the trunk - Amount, Minutes or Number of Calls.
• It checks the Call Budget consumed.
Call Budget- Amount
• When Amount-based Call Budget is selected, the Amount should be assigned to the trunk.
