ETR records are associated with which kind of data in the permanent transaction master file?

ETR records capture the details of a single charge, and in the permanent transaction master file these records become the official, long‑term entry for that charge. Each individual charge has one ETR that records its specific data—such as date of service, patient, provider, code, and amount—and this entry persists in the master file across encounters. This is why an ETR is tied to an individual charge rather than to a temporary summary, a payment receipt, or a batch processing log. The other artifacts describe different things (temporary previews during data entry, payment acknowledgments, or processing logs) and do not serve as the permanent, charge-level record.
