Is There Any Business Function to Return PV (Present Value) Like MS Excel Does?

Purpose of Document

Does JDE EnterpriseOne provide any Annuity functions similar to functions provided by Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet?

The expectation is,



No. EnterpriseOne does not have any function which support this requirement but if it is required from your daily business  you may write your own Named Event Rule (NER) based on the Microsoft MSDN library see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722983.aspx

The following is an example code which can guide you in writing event rules to obtain PV() value.

Note that this is just example of code and Oracle does not warranty any issue that may arise from this code.

Formula:



or pv = pmt/rate * [1 - 1 / (1 + i)^nper]
(rate = rate per period. For example, annum rate is 8% then rate = 8 * (0.01) * 12 (month))



Result in Excel:



Example of implementation through Form Design Aid,



Possible code:
For simplicity, code is written based on simple formula pv = pmt/rate * [1 - 1 / (1 + i)^nper]

FORM: Get Present Value

CONTROL: BUTTON Get PV
EVENT: Button Clicked

evt_x
OPT: Using Defaults
0001 //
0002 VA frm_mnRate = ([FC _rate]*0.01)/12 /* monthly rate */
0003 VA frm_nper = [FC _nper]*12 /* total number of month */
0004 //
0005 VA evt_x = pow((1+[VA frm_mnRate]),[VA frm_nper])
0006 //
0007 FC _pv = ([FC _pmt]/[VA frm_mnRate])*(1-(1/[VA evt_x]))
0008 FC _pv = [FC _pv]*-1
0009 //
