All types of formulas are managed here, e.g.:

- Planned time calculation formulas

- Output calculation formulas

 

The formula number enables assignment of a formula to time components, operations, BoM positions, thus facilitating the calculation of:

- Default times

- Material requirements

- Other technical data

 

The result calculated from a formula can also be allocated to a variable.
