Calculation

Selecting the Calculation option from the Company menu will open the Calculation dialog. All the customized versions of Configura have their own Calculation dialog, which is tailored to the specific needs of each customer. In Configura Standard, it contains such information as article numbers and prices and can be used with the generic components.

With the assistance of the Calculation dialog you can price components, make discounts and add sales tax. It also gives you a list of all selected components placed in the drawing area and their quantities.

Note:

1. - The Calculation can also be accessed from the print dialog.
  - A component has to be activated in order to appear in the Calculation dialog box.
  - If you would like the Calculation dialog to be updated whilst you keep it open and add components on the drawing area, make sure that the Calculate price box is checked in the Control Panel.
  - The Calculation dialog can be opened after the components have been placed on the drawing area. It will then automatically list all selected components on the drawing area. You can also open the dialog first and thereafter position and activate components.

Columns

The calculation dialog has eight columns (Nr, Supplier, Category, Reference, Quantity,á price, Disc., and Price). In four of these columns you can enter information. Information for the columns Nr, Category, Quantity and Price is automatically entered, the latter one if you specify a price in the column á price.

The column Category automatically shows the component category, for example Work table or Pallet rack.
