Procedure documentationCreating Global Derived Characteristics

 

Optionally, you can define global derived characteristics, which you can then use in discount premium quality schedules (DPQS).

For example, you could define a global derived characteristic based on moisture content and foreign material content. Then, in a value schedule, you could use this global derived characteristic to apply an additional discount when the moisture content and the foreign material content both exceed 3%.
