A method to make a calculation in Cost Settlement, in order to divide (service) costs among various parties.

A maximum of two formulas can be linked to each CSP line. Example: 70% of the heating costs will be divided based on meter readings, whereas 30% will be split based on the m3 of the rentable unit. It is also possible to define a formula that uses the counter readings that are linked to the counter (gas / water / electricity / ….) of that rentable unit (or group of rentable units).

In your formula, you can specify a field of one of the following business objects: space usage, rentable unit (RU), contract or contract line. This field is the basis for the cost distribution. Example of a cost distribution field: Net area of the space usage. You can influence / correct the figures from this field by specifying a second field that serves as a (multiplication) correction factor (the use of a factor field is optional). The values of that field will be used to multiply the values of the cost distribution field.

Formula: <Value from Space usage field> * <value from space usage correction factor field> = the share of this space (usage) in the total distribution key.

If a space is partially empty, the calculation is:

(<Value from Space dimensions field> * <value from space dimensions correction factor field>) - (minus) (<Value from Space usage field> * <value from space usage correction factor field>)

If there is no space usage or a space is not rented out, you must also specify a field and correction factor field (optional) of the Space dimensions business object in your formula:

<Value from Space dimensions field> * <value from space dimensions correction factor field> = the share of this space in the total distribution key.
