Variables are pre-definitions (templates) of a time calculation through formulas and tables. The numeric or alphabetic assignment of variables can be:
- calculated in a formula
- read in a parameter list
- read in a table
- read from item, order line or order header
- determined from a freely definable origin type
Define the formulas and tables you want to use under the Variables menu option. The texts for description and unit of quantity are adopted when entering a variable name. However, you can also choose to describe the variables later in the actual formula or table.
