Defining Charges › Normalizer Panels › Normalizer Entry Panel

Normalizer Entry Panel

You use this panel to define or modify a normalizer you named on the Normalizer Primary panel (section Normalizer Primary 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.

A description of the Normalizer Entry panel follows.

Access

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

• You press F2 (Create) on the Normalizer primary panel shown in Normalizer Primary Panel.
• You make a selection on the Normalizer List or Expanded list panels.
• You return from the Expanded Normalizer Entry panel.

Scrolling

F7 and F8 let you scroll backward and forward through the normalizer entries. You can also use the scroll bar, to move through the normalizer entries.

Input

The Normalizer Entry panel contains the following input fields:

Cmd

Use this column to specify commands. Valid commands include:

D Deletes lines from the calculation.

I Inserts lines into the calculation using the Normalizer Insert (CBCNRMI) pop-up window. Refer to page Sample Entry Panel Insert Pop-Up Window on how to use the insert window.

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.

F11=Expand

Presents you with an eight-line display of the Normalizer List panel.
