Specifying Calculation Rules

Calculations are entered as calculation rules in a list, similar to how validation rules or Siebel personalization rules are administered.

Calculation rules are specified in three stages:

1. Specify a calculation rule-set.

2. Specify variables used in the calculation.

3. Specify calculation details.

To specify a calculation rule-set

1. Navigate to the Administration - Application screen, and then the Calculation Manager view.

2. In the Rule Sets list, create a new record, and complete the fields described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Name	Calculation rule set name. Rule-set names are language independent.
   Comments	Rule set description.
   Business Object	Business object context for evaluating the rules.
   Array Output Business Component	Business component context for writing the output of an array calculation, such as Amortization table calculation.
   Active Flag	Flag to activate the calculation rule set. By default a calculation rule set is inactive.
   Script Flag	Flag to indicate that the calculation rule is specified as a script, rather than declarative rules.
   Type	List of values that provide the ability to categorize rules for easier administration.
   Applet Title	Title for the pop-up applet that appears when the calculation manager is invoked in the interactive mode.
