Working with Rate-Based Drivers

The rate-based driver type calculates both a unit rate and a volume driver from the source to the destination, and allocates the results to the destination in the measure designated in the driver definition, using the following formula:

Driver Unit Rate (Currency) * Volume Parameter

The results are used for balancing and determining unassigned values. If the sum of the allocated values is greater than the input value of the source, the difference is captured in a measure for the overdriven amount.

See the following procedures:
