About balance calculations using the summing rule

Understanding how the Use Net Values Summing Rule calculates balances

IN values of Volume, Energy, and Mass of high-level balance objects are calculated as follows:

OUT values of Volume, Energy, and Mass of high-level balance objects are calculated as follows:

Consider the following examples:

Example 1

If a lower level has 100 IN, 80 OUT, NET 20 with Multiplier = 1 and another has 80 IN, 100 OUT, NET -20 with Multiplier = -1. The higher level balance is calculated as IN 20, OUT -20, NET 40.

Example 2

If a lower level has 100 IN, 80 OUT, NET 20 and another has 80 IN, 100 OUT, NET -20, both with Multiplier = 1. The higher level balance is calculated as IN 0, OUT 0, NET 0.

Note: For example 2, the IN value is zero due to the fact that (+20) and (-20) were added.

Understanding how the Use In/Out Values Summing Rule calculates balances

IN values of Volume, Energy, and Mass of high-level balance objects are calculated as follows:

OUT values of Volume, Energy, and Mass of high-level balance objects are calculated as follows:

Consider the following examples:

Example 1

If a lower level has 100 IN, 80 OUT, NET 20 with Multiplier = 1 and another has 80 IN, 100 OUT, NET -20 with Multiplier = -1. The higher level balance is calculated as IN 200, OUT 160, NET 40.

Example 2

If a lower level has 100 IN, 80 OUT, NET 20 and another has 80 IN, 100 OUT, NET -20, both with Multiplier = 1. The higher level balance is calculated as IN 180, OUT 180, NET 0.
