Configuring the Default Expense Distribution Percentage
This task is a step in the Process of Configuring Supply Chain Analytics for a Universal Source. At times, employee expenses may be distributed across multiple cost centers. For example, technical support associates frequently travel to work in an office with many cost centers; their expenses could be split between those who used their services. This cost center distribution is expected as a percentage from the source system or file; if it is not present a null value is returned. However, this prevents further calculations, so it is preferable to configure the default to be 100% if only one cost center is charged, rather than allow the system to return a null value. To configure the default expense distribution percentage
- In PowerCenter Designer, open the Configuration for Universal Source folder.
- Open the SDE_Universal_ExpenseFact mapping.
- Select the Expression transformation to open the Edit Transformations box and select the Port tab.
- Add a port named DIST_PERCENTAGE
= <expression that sets this to 100%> .
- Validate your mapplet.
- Save your changes.
