Each performed calculation is saved as a snapshot at the time of its execution with the currently available information. On one hand, this allows calculations already to be performed when not all the data has been entered, in order to obtain an intermediate status. Also, if at a later point in time it is necessary to reconstruct how results were generated, e.g. for a quarterly reporting result, this can be done reviewing the snapshot generated at this point in time. On the other hand, it is possible to simulate the exercise of certain elections and to save the results. Some of the elections can be varied independently of the data input and thus lead to different calculation results. For more information on elections, see the corresponding section in the Group Data Collection or Entity Data Collection (Entity Election and general information) or the explanations of the effects in the respective Calculation.
