"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
-
"Basic data" option
You can link multiple basic data entries to the location. Thus, the surcharge rates for the basic data types are localized.
-
"Machines" option
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.
-
"Workers" option
You can link multiple workers to the location. After finishing the assignment, you can define location-specific labor cost rates for the workers.
-
"Shift models" option
You can link multiple shift models to the location. Use the links to define location-specific shift model capacities.
"Address" group
-
"Company" input field
Enter a company name for the location.
-
"Contact person" input field
Enter the name of the person responsible at the location.
-
"Street" input field
Enter the street name of the location.
-
"City" input field
Enter the city of the location.
-
"Zip code" input field
Enter the zip code of the location.
-
"Country" combobox
Select the country of the location.
-
"Country group" combobox
Selection of a country group of the
locations /
suppliers.
Requirements the customs duties are activated (see System Settings - Customs Duties) -
"Currency" combobox
Select the currency to be used for the unit of the locational cost tariffs, see "Location Parameters" group.
NoteWhen changing the currency, the tariff values are not converted into the new currency.
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.
-
"Interest on capital" input field
Enter 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.
-
"Location Parameters" table (Level 1)
Column Description 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
-
"Location Parameters" table (Level 2)
Column Description Value Enter the cost 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.
Changed by Displays the user who last modified the tariff.
Changed 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 CO2e emission factors in your consumption and machine cost calculations.
This function is only available with the license "Sustainable Product Costing" (SPC Sustainable Product Costing (SPC)).
Then, the additional columns are available:
Column | Description |
---|---|
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* Note
*If no emission type was maintained for the respective calculation parameter, the columns are inactive. |
CO2e Emission Factor |
Display the CO2e emission factor maintained at the emission type. |
CO2e Unit |
Displays the unit of the CO2e emission factor. |
