Description

Current description of Charge Class:

Indicates whether the row represents a correction to one or more charges invoiced in a previous billing period.

The definition should also encompass late-arriving charge records, e.g., a usage-related record that occurred in a previously invoiced billing period. In such cases, there is no original charge, only this late-arriving one, which should also be classified as 'Correction' or we might decide to introduce an additional value.

Current version

Charge Class indicates whether the row represents a correction to one or more charges invoiced in a previous billing period.

Suggested change:

Charge Class indicates whether the row represents a correction to a previously invoiced billing period.

In case of late arriving costs, there might not be previous charges that we are explicitly correcting, but rather correcting the invoiced billing period as a whole. I believe this should be classified as 'Correction', but if needed, we can consider adding an additional value.

Note to self: don't forget to address the Description as well.
