clsGroupAssociationDiscount

Stores a time-effective group discount and exposes it through the rating factor contract.

Purpose

• Stores a time-effective group discount and exposes it through the rating factor contract.
• Return a rating adjustment through Factor(...) only when the object remains valid (BR-014).

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Business.Policy.Group
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Business.Policy.Group

Behavioral notes

• Factor(...) returns the stored discount only when the object is valid (BR-014).
• IsTentative reflects the stored pending flag (BR-015).

Constraints and usage notes

• Most create, retrieve, and save flows rely on BOF criteria and data-portal behavior inherited from the framework base layer.†

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified. Statements marked with † were retrieved from dependency library documentation via the Legends CLI RAG service.
