Example of Resource Mapping Using Rules of Precedence

This example illustrates that precedence is given to the branch with the lowest number at the lowest level if the sum of precedence numbers is the same for more than one branch.
Graphic showing that if the sum of precedence numbers is the same for more than one branch, precedence is given to the branch with the lowest number at the lowest level.

In this example, a time card transaction for a principle consultant who incurs travel expenses maps to two branches.

  • The first branch consists of two levels (1-Person Type: Employee and 1.1-Job: Principle Consultant). The highest level has a precedence number of 14, and the lowest level has a precedence number of 6, for a sum of 20 for the branch.

  • The second branch also consists of two levels (2-Expenditure Category: Expenses and 2.1-Expenditure Type: Travel). The highest level has a precedence number of 11, and the lowest level has a precedence number of 9, for a sum of 20 for the branch.

The transaction cost amount is mapped to the Job: Principle Consultant resource element because it has the lowest number (6) at the lowest level.
