Understanding Reviewing Table Methods
Before setting up a calculation table, you should review table method information to determine which table method to use in order to appropriately calculate the amount or rate of the DBA. Reviewing table methods allows you to see a description of how the table method calculates DBA amounts or rates as well as which methods of calculation are valid for use in conjunction with the table method. Methods of calculation tell you what types of information can be defined in the calculation table.
Most of the table methods that you need are included with the system. Occasionally, you might need a table method that is not included with the system. In this case, you can customize the system by adding a new table method or by copying an existing method and then making the necessary modifications. Typically, you create custom table methods using Named Event Rules (NERs). You can select existing NERs or you can create new NERs through the Business Function Design Aid tool, which you can access from the Object Management Workbench (OMW).
To be used in custom table methods, new NERs must use the DN0700003 (DBA Calculation Generic Functions) data structure. Programmers or consultants typically create custom table methods. We recommend that you contact the system administrator if you identify the need to add a custom table method.
