The following table shows the way that XPAC schedules certain records, subject to their Zero Test Data Field, the Entered (or requested) Percentage and the Accumulation Field. This table illustrates how your schedule will behave in certain unusual situations. Note that the only values that behave differently are zero and non-zero values, so the table has made use of these.

The most common type of schedule step that you encounter will be the first one, so most of your records will be scheduled in a straight forward and logical manner. The other step types will occasionally occur and it may be due to errors in your data (incorrect zero values), errors in your schedule setup (incorrect zero test data field or accumulation field) or a valid result.

Note that the second type of schedule step is further discussed in a broadbrush schedule example.
