5.1 Introduction

The default variant for reporting sales/usages is the Multi Record Block Variant (MRBV) where release data is available (as defined in Clause 5.3).

This part of the DSR standard defines, however three simpler variants: the MRBV where release data is not available (as defined in Clause 5.2) and two Single Record Block Variant (SRBVs, as defined in Clause 6.1 and 6.2). Each of these simpler variants have limitations in terms of data communication when compared to the MRBV with release data default variant.
