Driver Setup

For automatic drivers, use the Driver Definition program (P1630) to create and update driver definitions and calculation instructions. You can define how to calculate driver volumes at the summary level.

For manual drivers, use the Driver Definition program to update a definition for information that is not maintained in the system. For example, you can define drivers to identify man-hours or square footage for a particular department.

After you run update information, use driver calculations to automatically calculate the cost of driver volumes or to enter drivers manually. During allocations or reassignments, drivers logically reassign costs to activities, processes, and cost objects.
