Setting Up Model Generator
This section discusses how to set up the model generation definition.
Activity-Based Management Model Generator automates the process of setting up the metadata for filters and constraints as well as setting up Activity-Based Management objects, drivers, and the pointers for driver quantities.
Model Generator generates:
Activity-Based Management resources, activities, and cost objects.
Drivers, interunit drivers, and constraints and filters for driver quantities.
To accomplish this, Model Generator requires source data that can be loaded into the system from a spreadsheet.
To run Model Generator, set up a model generation ID to specify:
The location of the source data.
Source and target setup.
Driver quantities and rates.
Any interunit drivers.
