How many times must the one-time batch submission be submitted to establish data history?

• A. Twice
• B. Once
• C. Monthly
• D. Annually

Answer: (B)

Establishing data history relies on creating a single, initial record that serves as the baseline. Submitting one batch establishes that baseline, giving you a unique starting point for all future changes. Submitting more than once would duplicate the baseline and create confusion about which record is the true starting point. After the baseline is set, you can add time-stamped updates to reflect changes, but periodic submissions (monthly or annually) aren’t required just to establish history.
