D.13 Notes on Usage of Statistics and Other Balances

It is important to understand the details of the behavior of the allocation engine with respect to currencies before building your rules. Some elements that you may regard as being statistical in nature are registered within the system as Balances or as Balance Weighted Objects and are therefore always translated (both when serving as inputs to rules and when output from rules). You may wish to store other statistical elements as a function of a currency, that is, elements having different values for each currency, but which you do not want the engine to translate. Finally, you may wish to store elements that you regard as being statistical in nature but which vary as a function of currency and which you do want the engine to translate.
