Virtual Accounts Should Split Estimated and Actual Data in a Month

A virtual account should be able to see that the source account has 99.5% actual data for particular month. Then the virtual account should calculate 99.5% actual data and 0.5% estimated data instead of saying that it is 100% estimated. This would more accurately reflect the client's data when they use virtual rules. This is especially important if there are any contract clauses that limit the amount of estimated or accrued data allowed for a given month. This would have widespread impact as it would increase the accuracy of all clients who use virtual accounts and remove one barrier that some clients have when considering virtual accounts.
