TS 32.240 [1] specifies the high level common 3GPP charging architecture as well as more detailed architectures, that are relevant for the present document:

– Figure 4.3.1.0.1: Logical ubiquitous offline charging architecture.

– Figure 4.3.3.0.1: Logical ubiquitous converged charging architecture.

The present document specifies the parameters, abstract syntax and encoding rules for all 3GPP defined CDR types as applicable to the Bx interface, i.e. the CDR files.
