4.3.1.5 Qualifying Algorithms


When multiple algorithms (lists of computation codes and
their associated rates) are defined, they must be associated
with the appropriate subsets of data (such as mainframe
processors, application subsystems, cost centers).  Such
association is called "algorithm qualification."

Separate charging algorithms can be established for different
mainframe processors (SYSIDs), applications (SUBSYSIDs),
types of work (SUBTYPEs), and/or cost centers.

If you defined only one algorithm for a journal file,
algorithm qualification is not necessary.  If you defined
more than one algorithm, there must be a qualification for
each one.

The following sections discuss the Algorithm Qualification
Worksheet and present an example.
