10.3.34.13 Resource Transformation

Simply selects a resource result as its Output – the same construction as a resource Input to a more general transformation. For example, an Access Link resource could be defined as the Input to a Resource transformation, and so used to install equipment in an Exchange Termination Function.

Basis

You can choose which resource result defines the Output from the following:

  • the amount of Installed Capacity
  • the number of Installed Units
  • the amount of Used Capacity
  • the number of Incremental Units
  • the amount of Incremental Capacity
  • the amount of Capital Expenditure
  • the amount of Utilisation
  • the amount of Consumption
  • the number of Consumed Units.

You must ensure that the Capacity Unit of any secondary resource, required by this transformation, is compatible with the Basis you have chosen, so that if, for example, the Basis of the transformation is Installed Units, the capacity of the secondary resource is defined in terms of units of the primary resource.

A Resource transformation is equivalent to a Multiplier transformation with a resource Input and Multiplier set to 1. However an explicit Resource transformation must be used to feedback revenues when building Value Chain models – see 10.3.35 Value chain analysis.
