Calculation Lines

As with the manual lines, this line type can be used on all budget types, except the direct costs and settlements budgets.

The calculation line type can be used when the periods of the line should be calculated on the basis on another line. Each calculation line must refer to another line (on which the calculation should be based). Additionally, a surcharge type should be set as well as surcharge values should be specified for all periods. Alternatively, a surcharge key can be specified on the line.

The calculation line must refer to either a line on the same budget as the calculation line or, if the calculation line is on a main budget, to line on a subbudget (of type subbudget) to the main budget.

On sum budgets, the value of calculation lines is the sum of all corresponding lines on the main and sum budgets directly below the sum budget in the budget hierarchy.
