Example: Normalizing a Complex Charge Unit

Charge      -------------
Unit        |Normalizer |                     Charge Element
CPU-TIME  * |  SYSTEM   | *  Condit'l Rate =  CPU-CHARGE
            -------------

Continuing with the Extended Charge Example, using the panel below we indicated all MBJ ORD records' CPUID field should be tested to determine if:

• CPU ID = 'A': Then, multiply the calculated charge units by a factor of 1.00 or 100%
• CPU ID = 'B': Then multiply the calculated charge units by a factor of 5.308 for 530.8%

Thereby, normalizing the charge unit's calculation.

We must now define the normalizer's qualifiers, @CPUIDA and @CPUIDB. Example 4 in Example 4: Qualifying a Normalizer shows you how to do this.
