Core Values
Available from 4.4.1
Core Values allow many different entities to be used to generate a part of the calculation within the Payment Mechanism module.
Initially a Core Value Group is created, this is then broken down into Core Values.
Against a Core Value, Session Costs, Weighting and Points are created. This Core Value is then connected to related Entities in the system.
The Core Value is then used within the PayMech calculation to apply costs, weighting or points e.g. if a Task is logged in a specific Location / s there could be a cost per session, If a Task is logged against a contract /s a weighting may occur, if a Task has a certain level of completion that points may be accumulated.
The list of Core Values are maintained here.

Core Values must be assigned to specific entities in the system. Once a Task is logged against one of these entities the values and dates can then be used within the Workflow calculation to gather costs, points and weighting
Note: For Core Value entities to be applied “Allow PMS Core Values” must be ticked in Table register

Note: An entity e.g. One location or one asset can only be linked to one Core Value within a Core Value Group.
Note: PayMech Module results are calculated using Workflow. Unless the calculation workflows are amended, changing settings in Concept Evolution may have no effect on PayMech outputs and results .
