Well, I think this should be a critical feature to implement for the next releases of Asterisk (hopefully * 1.6), I've read a lot of this matter in the list and in the bug tracker. I think the more insightful reading about this topic can be found in this link: <a href="http://www.asterisk.org/node/48358">http://www.asterisk.org/node/48358</a><br>
<br>I know Murf that you are working hard on this, I'm sure all of us on the list encourage you to keep doing your great work...<br><br>Since the billable time of a call composed of several transfers depends on the policy established for it (by this I mean to whom charge for the whole call), may I suggest that the "Future Wonderful CDR" needs to include a "Policy Manager" (the first term that comes to my mind) that allows you to sets how to account for it??? Maybe just a new parameter in cdr*.conf named "whotobill" or some similar with values that describe the initiator of the call, the person who gets the transfer (in case of a requested call to the operator) and so on...<br>
<br>Thanks Greyman for your response, best regards...<br><br><br>-- <br>Raul Gomez<br>Linux Counter #156439

Hi Raul,<br>
<br>
CDR's for transfers are beyond the ability of Asterisk.<br>
<br>

It's not something the powers that be want to think about a design for<br>
and the solution that's been suggested is to date it to use a<br>
different type of server software, such as a SIP Proxy, to generate<br>
the CDR's (something easy to suggest and complicated to do).<br>
<br>
You're not the only one affected by this and there is no fix.<br>
