Global Calc - field descriptions

Overview

Global Calculation (Calc) allows you to recalculate formulas automatically in one step. You should use this page when:
  • A raw material has been replaced.
  • A parameter value in an item has changed.
  • An equation used to derive a parameter has changed.

The Global Calc page is more efficient than manually opening each formula in a hierarchy and recalculating parameter values for each formula.

You can use Calc Formulas field to calculate formuals for global calc objects. Use Calc Items field to calculate items. You can also use both the Calc Formulas and Calc Items fields to calculate formulas and items on the form.

Global Calculation can also be run from a command line interface. See the Infor PLM for Process Application Configuration Guide.

Viewing reports

The Reports tab allows you to view rollup errors in the Global Calc process.

You can see:

  • Formulas that are being calculated from other labs in the Where Used hierarchy. After these formulas are processed, they are removed from the report.

  • Formulas that have failures or warnings.
  • Parameters that have been calculated by the job.
  • Lab parameters that were excluded from the calculation.
  • Other reports configured by your Optiva administrator.
