Understanding Model Generator and Ledger Mapper Generator
In addition to defining Activity-Based Management models and setting up resources, activities, cost objects, drivers, and pointers for sustainable models, Activity-Based Management also features two engines that let you create reusable, sustainable models. The following table lists the engines that automate model creation to streamline the model building process:
Engine |
Usage |
---|---|
Model Generator |
Automates the process of setting up your Activity-Based Management model by generating resources, activities, cost objects, and drivers. |
Ledger Mapper Generator |
Creates your ledger-to-resource mappings. |
Once you run these engines and create resources, activities, cost objects, drivers, and ledger-to-resource mappings for your model, you can process your Activity-Based Management model.
You can run Model Generator, Ledger Mapper Generator, or both engines. If you run both, run Model Generator before Ledger Mapper Generator. If you are only running Ledger Mapper Generator, first complete resource setup for the model.
