Setting Tariffs

different ways:
1. You can create a tariff first, and then operating within the settings of the
tariff, add price-lists, discounts, commission plans and other regulation a
particular service requires.
2. Alternatively, you can separately create price-lists, set discounts, develop
commission plans and then link them to tariffs.
