Defining Charge Units, Normalizers, & Qualifiers Directly

You have seen the usage of Charge Units, Normalizers, and Qualifiers as a part of the Charge Element definition. There is a need, especially during the initial implementation of the system, for direct entry of Charge Units, Normalizers, and Qualifiers external to the Charge Element definition.

Unit, Normalizer, and Qualifier definition functions allow this to happen, by enabling you to directly enter Units, Normalizers, and Qualifiers without regard for their use in Charge Elements. In the case of Qualifiers, you do not provide a Charge Element name on the Qualifiers primary panel shown in Qualifier Entry Panel.

The screen logic follows that of a Primary panel, followed by List, Expanded List, Entry, Expanded Entry panels.
