Defining Charges › Charge Elements Panels › Normalizer Entry Panel

Normalizer Entry Panel

You use this panel to define and qualify a normalizer you named on a Charge Elements Entry panel (section Charge Elements Entry Panel). Normalizers are only associated with charge units and are weighting factors (percentages) that are applied to a charge unit's calculated value before rates are applied. In the example below, we are providing a definition for a normalizer called SYSTEM.

Note: The first time this panel appears, you are in insert mode; no lines appear under the Cmd column, the scroll bar does not show a row count, and the only active panel function keys are F2, F5, and F11. When you press F5 (Save), a message appears telling you the insert is successful. At this point, you are in update mode. The panel scroll bar provides a row count, the Cmd column is active (lines appear under the column) and all panel function keys are active. Pressing F5 (Save) displays a message stating the update was successful.

The following is a description of the Normalizer Entry panel.

Access

The Normalizer Entry panel appears when one of these events occurs:

• When F8 (Norm) is pressed on the Charge Elements Entry panel shown in Charge Elements Entry Panel.
• You return from the Expanded Normalizer Entry panel.

Scrolling

F7 and F8 let you scroll backward and forward through the Qualifier and Percentage columns. You can also use the scroll bar to move through the list.

Input

The Normalizer Entry panel contains the following input fields:

Cmd

Used to specify commands. Valid commands include:

• D deletes qualifiers from the qualification.
• I inserts qualifiers into the qualification

Qualifier

The user-defined name of a conditional test that is applied to a charge unit.

Percentage

The weighting factor (a percentage) you want applied to a charge unit, based on the qualification tests you define. For example, 20%.

To increase a value by 20%, enter 120.
To decrease a value by 20%, enter 80.

The precision for this field is 99999999V9999999.

Actions

F2=Xref

Gives you a cross-referenced listing of all charge elements that reference this normalizer.

F5=Save

Lets you save the qualification(s).

F6=Delete

Lets you delete the qualification(s).

F7=Bkwd

Lets you scroll backwards through the panel.

F8=Fwd

Lets you scroll forward through the panel.
