Assigning parameter values

You can assign parameter values to the formula.

  1. Open the Formula form.
  2. Click the Parameters tab.
  3. Specify this criteria. The check box, in the left column of the grid, is required only for the Reset Calculation Level function.
    <Attribute>
    The names of these columns can be customized by the system administrator.
    Filter
    Select a filter to limit the parameters that are displayed. For example, you can select Rollup to show only the parameters that are assigned to the Rollup category.
    Level

    Indicates how parameters values are being calculated.

    • Pending (0) - Values are waiting to be calculated by Optiva or manually overridden.
    • Manual Override (1) - Values were overridden manually and were not calculated by Optiva.
    • Calculated (2) - Values are calculated by Optiva.
    Parameter
    Shows the parameters that are assigned to the selected filter. The system administrator determines which parameters are assigned to each filter category.
    Precision
    Enter the precision to which the parameter value is entered. This column does not affect the appearance of the parameter.
    Rollup Ind
    Indicates whether the rollup completed successfully for the corresponding parameter.
    Test Method
    Informational. If you have implemented the Optiva Testing module, you can select a test method to validate this parameter.
    UOM
    Shows the unit of measure (UOM).
    Value

    Specify a value for the corresponding parameter. Rollup, Cost, and Equation Total parameter values are calculated by the system.

    Information parameter values are not rolled up; enter them at each formula level. Because Equation Total parameters may use Information parameter values in their calculations, specify Information parameter values first.
