--- title: "Apply a Triangulation Set" canonical: "https://hub.freewheel.tv/space/OS/113672305/Apply%20a%20Triangulation%20Set" format: markdown --- Overview This page describes how to apply a triangulation set ; which values should be edited or locked in order to achieve the desired result. Apply Standard Actualization Triangulation When actualizing a standard Cost Line, there is one possible triangulation set: Standard Actualization Triangulation : The relationship between the Actual Cost for Period , Actual Rate , and Actual Units values The following table describes the standard actualization options: Desired Action Desired Results Step(s) Field Status Edit Actual Cost for Period Keep the original Actual Rate value Recalculate the Actual Units value Edit the Actual Cost for Period value. Actual Cost for Period : Unlocked Actual Rate : Locked Actual Units : Unlocked Edit Actual Cost for Period Keep the original Actual Units value Recalculate the Actual Rate value Lock the Actual Units field. This automatically unlocks the Actual Rate field. Edit the Actual Cost for Period value. Actual Cost for Period : Unlocked Actual Rate : Unlocked Actual Units : Locked Edit Actual Units Keep the original Actual Rate value Recalculate the Actual Cost for Period value Edit the Actual Units value. Actual Cost for Period : Unlocked Actual Rate : Locked Actual Units : Unlocked Edit Actual Units Keep the original Actual Cost for Period value Recalculate the Actual Rate value Lock the Actual Cost for Period field. This automatically unlocks the Actual Rate field. Edit the Actual Units value. Actual Cost for Period : Locked Actual Rate : Unlocked Actual Units : Unlocked Edit Actual Rate Keep the original Actual Cost for Period value Recalculate the Actual Units  value Unlock the Actual Rate field. This automatically locks the Actual Cost for Period field. Edit the Actual Rate value. Actual Cost for Period : Locked Actual Rate : Unlocked Actual Units : Unlocked Edit Actual Rate Keep the original Actual Units value Recalculate the Actual Cost for Period value Unlock the Actual Rate field. This automatically locks the Actual Cost for Period field. Lock the Actual Units field. This automatically unlocks the Actual Cost for Period field. Edit the Actual Rate value. Actual Cost for Period : Unlocked Actual Rate : Unlocked Actual Units : Locked Apply Margin Actualization Triangulation When actualizing a margin Cost Line, there are two possible triangulation sets: Margin Percentage Triangulation : The relationship between the Vendor Net Cost (VC) , Margin % , and Client Net Cost (VC) values Margin Actual Units Triangulation : The relationship between the Vendor Net Rate (VC) , Actual Units , and Vendor Net Cost (VC) values, and between the Client Net Rate (VC) , Actual Units , and Client Net Cost (VC) values By default, the Margin Percentage Triangulation set is active and the Margin Actual Units Triangulation set is not active. The following table describes the margin actualization options: Active Triangulation Set Desired Action Desired Results Step(s) Field Status Margin Percentage Triangulation Edit Vendor Net Cost (VC) Keep the original Margin % value Recalculate the Client Net Cost (VC) value Edit the Vendor Net Cost (VC) value. Vendor Net Cost (VC) : Unlocked Margin % : Locked Client Net Cost (VC) : Unlocked Actual Units : Locked Margin Percentage Triangulation Edit Vendor Net Cost (VC) Keep the original Client Net Cost (VC) % value Recalculate the Margin % value Lock the Client Net Cost (VC) field. This automatically unlocks the Margin % field. Edit the Vendor Net Cost (VC) value. Vendor Net Cost (VC) : Unlocked Margin % : Unlocked Client Net Cost (VC) : Locked Actual Units : Locked Margin Percentage Triangulation Edit Client Net Cost (VC) Keep the original Margin % value Recalculate the Vendor Net Cost (VC) value Edit the Client Net Cost (VC) value. Vendor Net Cost (VC) : Unlocked Margin % : Locked Client Net Cost (VC) : Unlocked Actual Units : Locked Margin Percentage Triangulation Edit Client Net Cost (VC) Keep the original Vendor Net Cost (VC) value Recalculate the Margin % value Lock the Vendor Net Cost (VC) field. This automatically unlocks the Margin % field. Edit the Client Net Cost (VC) value. Vendor Net Cost (VC) : Locked Margin % : Unlocked Client Net Cost (VC) : Unlocked Actual Units : Locked Margin Percentage Triangulation Edit Margin % Keep the original Vendor Net Cost (VC) value Recalculate the Client Net Cost (VC) value Unlock the Margin % field. This automatically locks the Vendor Net Cost (VC) field. Edit the Margin % value. Vendor Net Cost (VC) : Locked Margin % : Unlocked Client Net Cost (VC) : Unlocked Actual Units : Locked Margin Percentage Triangulation Edit Margin % Keep the original Client Net Cost (VC) value Recalculate the Vendor Net Cost (VC) value Unlock the Margin % field. This automatically locks the Vendor Net Cost (VC) field. Lock the Client Net Cost (VC) field. This automatically unlocks the Vendor Net Cost (VC) field. Edit the Margin % value. Vendor Net Cost (VC) : Unlocked Margin % : Unlocked Client Net Cost (VC) : Locked Actual Units : Locked Margin Actual Units Triangulation Edit Actual Units Keep the original Vendor Net Rate (VC) and Client Net Rate (VC) values Recalculate the Vendor Net Cost (VC) and Client Net Cost (VC) values Unlock the Actual Units field. This automatically turns the Vendor Net Cost (VC) , Margin % , and Client Net Cost (VC) fields read-only. Edit the Actual Unit value. Actual Units : Unlocked Vendor Net Rate (VC) : Read-only Vendor Net Cost (VC) : Read-only Client Net Rate (VC) : Read-only Client Net Cost (VC) : Read-only
