Use this article to understand what a calculation is in Cimplico Workpapers and when to use one.
What is a calculation?
A calculation is a formula-based form. You enter data, and Cimplico Workpapers uses it to produce a result you can use as evidence in your workpaper.
Why use a calculation
Standardised - built-in templates for common scenarios, like Division 7A, GST, and Hire Purchase.
Carried forward - bring a calculation forward from a prior period instead of rebuilding it.
Linked to your figures - push a calculation's result straight into a worksheet with a linking entry, keeping your workpaper aligned with your workings.
Where a calculation lives
A calculation isn't tied to one worksheet. You add it to your workpaper, then link it to one or more worksheets, where it's saved as evidence. Add a calculation from a worksheet, from Other Schedules, or directly from the Calculations page.
Every calculation you add appears on the Calculations page, showing its progress, any Tags applied, and how many worksheets it's linked to.
