Special tab
Use this tab to define the address for an origin.
The "Special" tab of Locations differs from the other origins. Use this tab to define the address of a location, costs at the location and links to other master data.
"Assignments" group
| Option | |
| Basic data entries | You can link multiple basic data entries to the location. Thus, the surcharge rates for the basic data types are localized. |
| Machines | You can link multiple machines to the location. This allows the calculation of the machine costs to take costs for a particular location into account. |
| Employees | You can link multiple employees to the location. After finishing the assignment, you can define location-specific labor cost rates for the employees. |
| Shift models | You can link multiple shift models to the location. Use the links to define location-specific shift model capacities. |

suppliers"Calculation Parameters“ group
Here you can define values for location-specific calculation parameters (for consumption types) in order to use them in the project, e.g. for machine hourly rate calculation.
Consumption types at the calculation parameters, except for the interest on capital, are configured within the scope of FACTON® Customizing or by an authorized partner.
| Entry field | |
| Interest rate |
Enter the amount of the interest rate on capital at the location. You can administer rights here. The interest rate is used for machine hour rate calculation (imputed interest) and investment calculation. |
| Calculation parameters table (expandable) | |
| Energy Costs |
Enter the locational energy cost tariffs with validities |
| Footprint costs |
Enter the locational footprint cost tariffs with validities |
| Gas Costs |
Enter the locational gas cost tariffs with validities |
| Water Costs |
Enter the locational water cost tariffs with validities |
| Table Columns | |
| Value |
Enter the tariff value. You can enter multiple tariffs for each calculation parameter with different validities. |
| Unit |
Displays the unit of the tariff. The numerator corresponds to the currency defined in the "Address" group; the denominator unit depends on the calculation parameter, e.g. EUR/kWh. |
| Valid From |
Enter the validity start date of the tariff |
| Valid To |
Enter the validity end date of the tariff |
| Created By |
Displays the user who created the tariff |
| Created On |
Displays the date and time the tariff was created on |
| Updated By |
Displays the user who last modified the tariff |
| Updated On |
Displays the date and time the tariff was last modified on |
As part of Sustainable Product Costing you can also assign emission types to consumption tariffs to include CO2 equivalents in your consumption and machine cost calculations.
This function is only available with the license "Sustainable Product Costing" (SPC Sustainable Product Costing (SPC)).
Therefore additional columns are available:
| SPC-specific values of the table | |
| Initial Value |
If several emission types are maintained for the tariffs, the checkbox determines which emission type is to be initially used in the project. |
| Emission Type |
Select the emission type, if maintained* |
| CO2e |
Displays the CO2 equivalent defined at the emission type |
| CO2e Unit |
Displays the unit of the CO2 equivalent |
*If no emission type was maintained for the respective calculation parameter, the columns are inactive.
