We have a rule base that we have decided to convert to use temporal variables instead of the existing complex inferred entity set-up we have.
The general idea is we have payment periods that are adjusted by additional payment and reduced payment periods. The additional and reduced periods can start and end at any time and there can me many of each type. The plan is, using ODS, send all the periods with corresponding info (amount, ID Code, Type, BaseAmount, Display Order) temporally combine them which should give us numerous smaller periods with resulting sum amounts.
The question we have is we need some of these variables to change based off which periods resulted in the total sum. Such as if the payment period had no reductions it would need to change the ID Code to a "T" but if it contains one it would be a "F" and display order would need to be raised. I was hoping you could use text and a nice rule table to decide the temporal period "name/description" but text cannot be temporal as I understand it. What is best practice to do this? I was thinking a combination of a lot of Boolean values but it gets complicated fast. we need this text value to be available for all the resultant periods.
