BEN_BI_CHARGE (SQL Table)	Index Back
Charges BEN_BI_CHARGE holds non-accounting information about Benefits Billing charges. This table has equivalent status with BEN_BI_PAYMENT and BEN_BI_ADJSTMNT. These three tables together hold all the information on accounting entries and are joined through BEN_BI_DETAIL. BEN_BI_CHARGE does not hold any charge accounting information. This information is held on BEN_BI_DETAIL. BEN_BI_CHG_VW totals the accounting information and ties it to the charges. Warning! For technical reasons, this record's schema shows that it is keyed by EMPL_RCD. This is not logically or functionally accurate. Throughout all of Base Benefits, when in the context of benefit enrollment, EMPL_RCD must be interpreted as an alias for BENEFIT_RCD_NBR. All benefit enrollment-related records are logically keyed by BENEFIT_RCD_NBR, so here EMPL_RCD actually contains the value of the appropriate BENEFIT_RCD_NBR. It is CRITICAL that all joins, comparisons, and updates to this record be against BENEFIT_RCD_NBR. Thus a typical driving join for benefit participation is PS_PER_ORG_ASGN.BENEFIT_RCD_NBR = PS_BEN_PROG_PARTIC.EMPL_RCD, and a typical join for benefit enrollment is PS_PER_ORG_ASGN.BENEFIT_RCD_NBR = PS_HEALTH_BENEFIT.EMPL_RCD. The security and search views used in Base Benefits perform this "mapping" internally.
