Interval Data is Stored in Data Sets

Interval data in the system will have many different origins.

• It may be contract-related data, which is setup at the beginning of the contract or contract year
• It may be data, which is interfaced from an external source periodically

Regardless of the origin of the data, all data will have similar characteristics

• Data will be received by the system, or created by the system periodically. The system will store whatever new data needs to be stored.
• The period represented by the batch of new data is variable.
• New data may be an update to previously received data

Refer to Interval Quantities are Stored in Data Sets for information about how interval data is stored. This same model is used for bill factor interval data. There is no difference.
