of the CSV files selected and at that time tests all of the CSV samples for consistency. If TCM Expert
finds inconsistencies, it reports this information in a dialog box.
If you are a TCM super user, the Generate TCM Expert Apportionment Weights dialog box shows
the percent of selected CSVs used to generate the data.
If you are not a TCM super user, the dialog box does not show this field. This field shows the
percentage of CSV files out of all the selected CSV files that TCM Expert uses to generate the
Apportionment Weights table. The default is 67 percent. If you have too few CSV samples to make
an accurate Apportionment Weights table, you might want to increase this percentage. By increasing
this percentage, you have a better chance of getting an accurate Apportionment Weights table,
but you reduce the confidence level of the results.
Generating an Apportionment Weights Table for CSV Files
The following procedure shows how to use TCM Expert to generate an Apportionment Weights
table for your CSV files. This procedure assumes you are initially at the capacity planner
authorization level and that you have authorization to be a TCM administrator.
Before you use TCM Expert, you should have:
• A custom folder that contains your CSV files (sample data)
• An existing Transaction Count table or transaction count files unless you decide to generate
a default Transaction Count table
