The “Currency”, “Inflation index” and “Nominal discount rate” input windows are shown below. (“Inflation index” and “Nominal discount rate” are only available in FINANCE and ACCOUNTS).

Currency: The name/symbol of the currency (Used for presentation only). The default currency is inherited from the computer’s regional settings.

Inflation: Select which of your created indexes that describes the inflation.

Nominal discount rate: The nominal discount rate is used for calculating the “Present Value” of the investment. See the report Financial Key Figures

Indexes

Define key figures

You can choose to include predefined key numbers in the report “Financial Key numbers”.

If you check the facility “Define annual key figures” you can type in the wanted key figures by defining their names, formulas and presentation (as percentage or as number).

There is a set of predefined functions available for creating your formulas. These functions are based on the annual amounts calculated in “Income Statements” and “Balance Sheets”. Hereto come a large number of functions based on energy demand and energy conversion, and mathematical standard expressions and functions such as Min, Max etc.

Hereto comes the possibility of defining headers. In that case type in the header text in the column “Name of key figures” and select the “Header”-option” in the “Shown as” column.

You can use the following built-in functions. The functions all return annual values.

In Functions detailed descriptions of the functions to be used in energyPRO can be found.
