Definition

Variants are small independent programs.

Variants carry out elementary arithmetical steps. Many variants valuate billing-relevant values and thereby generate billing line items. Other variants convert values and provide the resulting variants.

Variants usually have input and output operands that symbolize the parameters included in the variant. These operands belong to a certain operand category.

In rate, a combination of variants portrays the billing rules.
