The most important parameters and entries for value calculation can be found on the “Values calculation” section in the teacher master data.

| • | Factor : Depending on the teacher’s seniority the periods that he teaches are weighted. The value that you enter here will be multiplied with the number of periods per week. |
| • | Plan/Week : This is where you enter the lesson value units that the teacher must take each week to fulfil his teaching commitment. |
| • | Targ/Week Max : This field is important for variable teacher assignment during optimisation. When the optimisation process assigns this teacher lessons from another teacher, the system will check to ensure that his/her total value units do not exceed this value. |
| • | Reductions : This is the total of reductions entered for the relevant teacher under “Lessons | Reductions“. |
| • | Value units : Here you can see how much the teacher’s lessons are “worth“. The next few pages describe how this value is calculated. |
| • | Actual-planned : This value is the difference between the teacher’s (contractually) agreed workload and the currently assigned value units. A positive value therefore signifies overemployment while a negative value means that this teacher must take additional lessons in order to fulfil his/her teaching commitment. |
| • | Percent of target : This field indicates how much of the teacher's target has been met in percentage, i.e. you can see immediately whether the teacher is working below or above capacity. |
