Usage:
This is a mandatory data item when the Bulk Replacement Update Mechanism is used and is not required when the Net Change Update Mechanism is used.
The CDS Bulk Replacement Update Mechanism process identifies previously transferred CDSs Types that are to be replaced by the submitted CDS interchange.
To do this the CDS BULK REPLACEMENT GROUP must be used together with the following data items:
CDS REPORT PERIOD START DATE
CDS REPORT PERIOD END DATE
CDS INTERCHANGE SENDER IDENTITY
CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY

It is particularly important when using the CDS Bulk Replacement Update Mechanism for a CDS BULK REPLACEMENT GROUP to contain all the relevant CDS Types for the extracted time period in a single CDS Interchange, e.g. the Finished General Episodes, Finished Delivery Episodes and Finished Birth Episodes in a Finished Episode Group.
