Compound Components

You can cross-reference component calculation rules to set up compound components. For example, a 2 percent component rate might be cross-referenced to a 40 percent component rate. The system uses these steps to calculate the component amount for a cost of 1000:

1. 1000 × 2 percent = 20

2. 1000 × 40 percent = 400

3. 400 × 2 percent = 8

You can include unit-based component calculation rules in a cross-reference, but you cannot use them as the basis for cross-reference information.
