Calculation Plans

Use Calculation Plans Allocation Method groups and conditional execution statements to define when to run Allocation Methods. Each Calculation Plan contains the following fields:

Field

Description

Sequence

Numeric value for ordering items in the Calculation Plan.

Allocation Method

This lists all available Allocation Methods. Allocations are journal templates and are created/defined on the Allocation Methods page.

Description

The value entered in this field is displayed on the People Plan’s Register Description field.

Weight/Count/Exp

Enter the value by which to multiply by. This can be a percentage, expression, number, etc.

Period Divisor/Exp

This defines the number of periods over which the allocation results should spread. For example, adding a merit increase of 5% on current wages means the resulting value is applied to each month in the plan and needs to be divided by 12.

Period Filter

This defines the periods for which the calculation plan will execute. Valid entries include a static list of periods (3,6,9,12), a range of periods (1-7), or an expression (1-|PPerCount|).

Conditional Execution Statement

This controls under what conditions the plan executes. For example, if the conditional field contains |Code1| = ‘EUR’ then for the person being processed, the rule would only run if the value in Code1 was equal to EUR. Full expressions can be processed (IF, IIF, and, or, etc).

Override Fields

The Dimension Override Fields are optional and override the default allocation POV defined in the Allocation Method.
