Abstract (en)

The data processing system has a database for storing master contracts and billing customizing tables. The master contracts refer to the billing customizing data by means of result and condition attributes. This has the advantage that a modification of the billing customizing data, such as for the purpose of changing the bundle pricing scheme for the master contracts, does not require storage of the updated data in the database.
