Systems and methods are provided for mitigating revenue leakage in a multi-vendor session management function (SMF) solution deployment. In N40-based converged charging implementation, a quota management indicator (QMI) is used to distinguish between online and offline packet data unit (PDU) sessions. Online sessions include QMI, while offline sessions do not. In a multi-vendor SMF solution, any one of the SMF solutions may not comply with 3GPP standards regarding utilizing QMI (i.e., QMI is included by default regardless of session type). This can lead to revenue leakage in offline billing since the offline sessions are not correctly identified. The present disclosure provides a mediation server that processes call data records (CDRs) based on a source identifier rather than QMI. Specifically, the mediation server can ignore logic instructing discarding CDRs having QMI (as it does normally) and, instead, process the CDRs having QMI. This reduces the risk of revenue leakage.
