To create formula based elements. The definition of these elements varies and depends on where you have launched the Formula Generator from. The Formula Generator may appear slightly different as not all its features are applicable to all modules in Sage EasyPay, however the overall concept of creating and modifying a formula is the same. The advantage of using formula based elements is the flexibility as you can use pre-defined system variables alongside variables of your own definition. The formula is similar to algebraic expressions. Each expression is made up of variables and operators and/or values.
