Static System Properties in Capex Management Module
Overview of Request Types and Properties
GLOBAL Properties
Applicable across all request types, including CAPEX, EXPENDITURE, and BUDGET.
Retrieve or calculate data dynamically based on the context of the request.
Example: Fields such as Request Name, Project Leader, and Requested Amount store universal information critical for all workflows.
CAPEX Properties
Specific to CAPEX requests, these properties manage data related to capital investments and projects.
Example: Fields like NPV (pre-decision), Payback Period, and Total Capex Amount provide detailed financial metrics for evaluating investment proposals.
EXPENDITURE Properties
Designed for expenditure requests, these properties handle data specific to financial outlays and budget line items.
Example: Fields such as Expense Type, Commitments, and Tax Depreciation focus on expenditure tracking and reporting.
Properties Applicable to Request Type GLOBAL
Properties of type GLOBAL store information across all request types—CAPEX, EXPENDITURE, and BUDGET—in Weissr Capex Management. With built-in logic, GLOBAL properties can retrieve or calculate data as needed and operate consistently regardless of the request type. In Capex and Budget requests, GLOBAL properties pull data from the original project source. In Expenditure requests, they hold data specific to the individual expenditure request.
Static System Properties Applicable to Request Type GLOBAL

Properties Applicable to Request Type CAPEX
Properties of type CAPEX are properties that store information about requests and projects within Weissr Capex Management. These properties have built-in logic to serve specific functions, such as calculating or retrieving data automatically based on the system’s rules. Unlike configurable properties, the behavior of static CAPEX properties cannot be modified through configuration. In both Capex and Budget requests, CAPEX properties display data directly from the original Capex request source.
