Manage Data Calculations When Editing Measure Data in a Supply Chain Planning Table

When you are working in a Supply Chain Planning work area, you might be editing measure data in tables that include dependent measures.

You can use the Data Calculation Options menu to determine when calculations are performed. You access the Data Calculation Options menu from the table toolbar for the table you are editing.

The Data Calculation Options choices are:

  • Enable Automatic Calculations

  • Calculate Now

Enable Automatic Calculations

When you edit data with this option selected, each time you edit a value, calculations are performed for any applicable summaries or other measures that include an expression. The Enable Automatic Calculations choice is the default selection.

Calculate Now

To choose when calculations are performed, you must first deselect Enable Automatic Calculations. When you make edits with the Enable Automatic Calculations choice deselected, you must click the Calculate Now choice when you want calculations to be performed. Calculations will be performed for all edits made since the last time calculations were performed.

If you save a table after making edits, any needed calculations will be performed, but you must refresh the table to see the results.
