Overview of Calculation Manager
The Calculation Manager creates, validates, deploys, and administers sophisticated allocation rules.
In the Calculation Manager:
-
Base formulas on multiple criteria, such as account balances or statistical amounts, to allocate shared revenue or costs across multiple organizational units.
-
Use complex computations based on different variables to automatically calculate allocated amounts.
-
Group journal formulas together and run sequentially to update account balances step by step.
There are three types of objects that can be created in Calculation Manager:
-
Components: Contain formulas, points of view, or allocation objects.
-
Rules: Contain components such as points of view, formulas, and templates, which are used to create allocation calculations.
-
Rule Sets: Contain rules that can be calculated sequentially.
-
Allocation rules can't be shared across rule sets in Calculation Manager.
-
Within a rule or rule set, multiple rule components can't write to the same target or offset.
- When generating allocation rules with runtime prompts other than the User Point of View in an allocation rule component, an error occurs.
- Rule sets can contain only rules, not other rule sets.
