Documentation
Use
The automation data is merged with the existing installation facts when the data is copied.
If facts already exist in the installation, setting this indicator ensures that no prorations are generated when the automation data is copied if existing values are the same as new values.
Dependencies
This indicator is only effective if the AUTO_INSERT indicator is also set in the automation data.
Example
You want to use the automation data to copy values to the installation facts for an operand of category QPRICE. The facts already contain a value with the price key P1 for the period January 1st, 2000 to October 31st, 2000. The automation data now copies values for the same operand with the same price key P1 for the period November 1st, 2000 to December 31st, 2000.
If the AUTO_MERGE indicator has not been set, two time slices are generated (January 1st, 2000 to October 31st, 2000 and November 1st, 2000 to December 31st, 2000).
If the AUTO_MERGE indicator has been set, only one time slice is generated in the installation facts (January 1st, 2000 to December 31st, 2000).
This is not recommended for quantity-related operand categories (QUANT, AMOUNT).
