Equations

Equations are defined to pull parameter or item values from a formula. These values are used to calculate other parameters. Equations are also used to show alert messages.

Equations are used for a variety of applications, including:

• Deriving equation total parameters and informational parameters that are based on equations.
• Attaching messages to rollup, informational, and cost parameters.

All equations are configured in the Equation form. From there, equations are added to parameters in the Parameter form. Equations are associated with calculation methods in the Profile form.

The value from an equation is returned to an item parameter with the Context.ReturnValue variable. See the Infor PLM for Process Scripting Administration Guide for more information.
