Defining Iterative Processing Rules

Use the Iterative Processing Rules window to specify how to use the iterative formula results for an element. For example, you can specify which formula result adjusts an input value to feed into the next processing iteration, and which result stops the iterations.

arrow icon   To define iterative processing rules:

  1. Enter or query the element in the Element window - making sure the Iterative Flag check box on the Advanced tab is checked - and choose the Iterative Rules button.

  2. Select a formula result in the Return Name field, and select a rule type: Adjust, Message, or Stop.

  3. For a message, select the severity level: Fatal error, Information, or Warning. A Fatal message creates an error for the assignment action.

  4. For an Adjust type, select the input value to adjust.

  5. Save your work.

    If you are using the DEFAULT_GROSSUP iterative formula, define the following rules:

    Return Name Rule Type Input Value to Adjust
    ADDITIONAL _AMOUNT Adjust Additional Amount
    HIGH_GROSS Adjust High Gross
    LOW_GROSS Adjust Low Gross
    REMAINDER Adjust Remainder
    STOPPER Stop --
