Policy Data

Policy is a similar concept to default data, except that it is rules based. The most appropriate use of rules based policy is to populate data items that can be deduced from other transaction data values, while eliminating the need to supply values for the derived data items in the transaction data.

Policy and default data are handled by assembling a policy document, whose output becomes the effective transaction data. Policy and data defaults can be associated with organizations defined in the precedence hierarchy as they are simply content fragments.
