Managing Calculations

Calculations in Valuemation represent simple arithmetic calculations and string operations. Using the Calculation Customizer, you can directly define certain arithmetic formula without any other settings.

Note: In many cases, a workflow could be also applied but often it is too complex to be used just for simple arithmetic calculations.

The definition of a calculation follows three basic steps:

1. Decide which business object is to be affected.
2. Select an attribute where the result of the calculation is to be stored.
3. Create the calculation formula.

The procedure includes:

• Calling the Calculation Customizer
• Working with the Calculation Browser

• Creating / editing the calculation in the Calculation Customizer

The following examples have been chosen to illustrate the use of calculations:

• Example: Total Net Price
• Example: Currency Conversion

• Example: Calculation for the Treeview Mode

Note: The information which is displayed at the node of a treeview is also defined in the Calculation Customizer. Please see the 'Calculation for the Treeview Mode' example.
