In this lesson we will discuss 1C:Enterprise features intended for automating complex periodic calculations.
Such calculations are most commonly used to calculate wages. Therefore, we will use the employee payroll at Jack of All Trades as an example for our discussion.
As a rule, employee wages are a function of many components (salary, bonuses, penalties, sick leaves, nonrecurring payments, and so on). Each of these components is calculated using some algorithm that is unique to this particular component.
For example, the penalty amount can be determined as a simple fixed amount, bonuses can be calculated as a percentage of salary, while salary might be calculated based on the number of working days in the month and the number of days the employee actually worked. Therefore, we will refer to each of these components as a calculation type.
An algorithm for each calculation type is generally based on two parameter types: a calculation period and some source data set.
In reality, calculation types generally do not exist in a vacuum, but instead somehow influence other calculations. Since a calculation type depends on two parameter types, this influence is also of a twofold nature.
