Allocated demands error log

The allocated demands error log appears when checking out a network if there are errors in the customer point based demand.

ClosedShow image

When a network is checked out, InfoWorks WS Pro reviews all allocated customer points to ensure that the customer point demand has been assigned correctly to nodes. If data for a customer point is not found at the node to which it is allocated, an error message will appear in the error log. Category Type (specific consumption/average demand/demand factor) and User Category should match exactly for the customer point.

The main cause of errors is due to customer point demand being edited at the node rather than the customer point (possible in versions earlier than version 5.0). Editing data on the Node Demand page does not update customer point data.

Note

InfoWorks WS Pro assumes that the customer point information is correct. Demand entries will be created at nodes for any allocated points where the customer point demand data does not exactly match the demand data at the node to which the customer point is allocated. This may result in duplicate demand at nodes.

The user should review the allocated demands error messages to decide which value is correct - the value from the customer points or that defined at the nodes.

Right click the error log for the option to export the log to text file for review at a later date.
