Use

In this step, you can specify how measurements are derived from other measurements.

For measurement types that appear at least once in the Total Measurement Type column, you can no longer enter the value for the measurement manually. Instead, their value is determined from the measurements specified by the Source Measurement Type. These total measurement types are designated by @3Z@ in the application. To see how the value for the measurement was calculated, you can click on this icon, in other words, you see what settings were made for the measurement type here in Customizing.

When should you use total measurements?

They are useful for differentiating between measurement types for reporting purposes, while at the same time making measurement types more uniform for processes.

Example

In real estate objects with mixed usage, you can use the measurement type A004 Residential Space for residential usage and the measurement type A003 Usable Space for commercial usage, in order to distinguish between the two. For service charge settlement by area, however, you can combine these two measurements together in the A200 Residential/Usable Space measurement type.

Entering Numerator and Denominator

Used when certain areas cannot be counted fully.

Example

In Germany, one half of the area of a balcony or terrace belonging to an apartment is included in the calculation of the residential space, if certain conditions are met (minimum width).

If you want to enter these two types of area separately, then you make the following settings in Customizing:

Source Meas. Type        Total Meas. Type                    Numerator        Denominator

A004 Res.Space(w/o balcony)        A010 Res.Space                    1        1

A008 Balcony Area         A010 Res.Space                    1        2

If you have more that one summation level, note that each addend can only be included once in the total measurement type.

Example

Source Meas. Type        Total Meas. Type    Numerator     Denominator

A003 Usable Space        A200 Res./Usable Space    1    1

A004 Residential Space        A200 Res./Usable Space    1    1

A005 Secondary space        A001 Total Space    1    1

A100 Retail Space        A003 Usable Space    1    1

A101 Office Space        A003 Usable Space    1    1

A102 Parking Space        A001 Total Space    1    1

A200 Res./Usable Space        A001 Total Space    1    1

M005 No.Parking Spaces        M007 Covered parking space    1    1

M006PGarage Spaces        M007 Covered parking space    1    1

Here the total space consists of Residential/Usable Space, Secondary

Space, and Parking Space together. If you also add the following row to this table:

A100 Retail Space                    A001 Total Space                1                1

then Retail Space is contained twice in the Total Space, once as a component of the Usable Space and thereby of Residential/Usable Space, and once assigned explicitly.

The system is not able to recognize these kinds of situation (since, particularly when other numerators and denominators are used, this could be intentional). Therefore, you have to make sure yourself in Customizing that the settings are correct. In addition to the procedure described here, you can also do so by limiting yourself to working with only two summation levels. This means that measurement types, which are used as total measurement types, should not be used in turn as source measurement types. The above table would then look like this:

Source Meas. Type        Total Meas. Type    Numerator     Denominator

A003 Usable Space        A001 Total Space    1    1

A003 Usable Space        A200 Res./Usable Space    1    1

A004 Residential Space    ,A001 Total Space    1    1

A004 Residential Space        A200 Res./Usable Space    1    1

A005 Secondary space        A001 Total Space    1    1

A100 Retail Space        A001 Total Space    1    1

A100 Retail Space        A003 Usable Space    1    1

A100 Retail Space        A200 Res./Usable Space    1    1

A101 Office Space        A001 Total Space    1    1

A101 Office Space        A003 Usable Space    1    1

A101 Office Space        A200 Res./Usable Space    1    1

A102 Parking Space        A001 Total Space    1    1

Disadvantage: When you add new measurements, you have to make more entries. (The measurement is not, for example, automatically included in the Total Space by being added to Residential/UsableSpace).
