Dynamic Steps - Bill Factors

Because the daily amount differs based on the region in which the customer resides, you'll need a bill factor - BASEQTY - with a characteristic that matches the region. This characteristic will be specified on the customer's premise. Then, at billing time, the system extracts the appropriate base quantity based on where the customer lives and multiplies it times the number of days in the customer's bill. The step boundaries are then multiplied by the resultant value (notice that they are set to 1).
