Understanding Variable Numerator Creation

Based on the assignment type selection, the system displays only those fields that are valid for the assignment type. Consider the following validation rules for variable numerators:

  • The From component must be the Cost Analyzer Balances table.

  • The Based On component can be either the Cost Analyzer Balances table or the Driver Balances table. You are not allowed to enter a factor.

  • The Apply To component must be a Cost Analyzer balance.

A variable numerator is a factor that is based on data, which you specify. Because this data changes when it is updated, the factor might vary from one calculation to the next. You can reallocate costs or revenue to objects, based on data in the Cost Analyzer Balances table (F1602) or Driver Balances table (F1632).
