It's arbitrary: one can do it every macro-cycle as well. The main idea
is to have a total B-factor in ATOM records written out to a PDB file.

Like I said, it is arbitrary. You can store the overall B-factor in
overall anisotropic scale matrix (B_overall) or in individual atomic
B-factors; in both cases the total model structure factor
Fmodel = scale_overall * exp(-h*B_overall*ht) * (Fcalc + k_sol *
exp(-B_sol*s^2) * Fmask)
will remain the same.
