Genealogy Data

Genealogy data calculates the allocation detail for source and destination intersections that are indirectly related, rather than directly assigned to each other.

Therefore, the results of one level may not contribute to the next level, but must contribute to some downstream intersection. Genealogy can be calculated for both the Cost and Revenue layers.

For example, in the following diagram, the results for Personnel and Manufacturing in Stage One of the model contribute to Bike Trailer costs in Stage Three.


Genealogy Data Flow displays the portion of the flow that is absorbed by indirect assignment. For example, the portion of Personnel and Manufacturing that contributes to Bike Trailer costs.
