Hard-code Rates at First

In the initial implementation of your eligibility/entitlement rules, you may require data which is best implemented as rate tables.

Initially, though, you may find it easier to hard-code the rate information directly in your rule implementations; later you can refactor your rules to move the data to Cúram rate tables, and replace your implementation with the rate expression, and create propagator configuration entries to allow your new rate tables to be propagated Rate Rule Objects.

CAUTION:

If your implemented product goes live with rates hard-coded in the rule sets, then any subsequent rate changes will involve rule set changes (with the associated re-testing effort), rather than a rate-only change external to your rule sets.
