Creating source compute
Use this procedure to use formulas to calculate the source amount. When the Use Source
Compute is selected, you must define and assign a source compute.
- Select Intercompany Billing > Transfer Pricing Allocations > Recharges.
- Open a recharge.
- Click the Sources tab.
- Open a source where the Use Source Compute is selected.
- Select the Source Compute field to show Custom Compute.
- Click Create.
- Specify this information:
- Custom Compute
- Specify the name of the custom compute.
- Description
- Specify a description for the custom compute.
- Effective Date
- Specify the date that the custom compute goes into effect.
- On the Editor tab, select Compute.
-
Specify the Field
Name, Default Label,
Field Type, Size, and Decimals.
If the formula references a field, we recommend that you follow the field size of the field that is referenced. For example, if the reference is to General Ledger Total balance, you set the size and decimal to 20 and 2 respectively.
-
On the Definition tab, specify a
formula.
The source compute is defined in the business class allocation line. Any fields in the allocation line can be referenced by the custom compute but these are the relevant fields:
- Source
- The generated combination or the summary/posting of the source address.
- CurrentValue
- The value of the posting or summary source line currently being evaluated.
- CurrentCurrency
- The currency of the posting transactions currently being evaluated.
- AllocationPeriod
- The recharge period. The value is determined based on the date selected during the recharge calculation.
To reference a custom total in a compute, see Creating custom total and referencing custom total in a custom compute to set up the formula.
