Results of cost allocations

Access through: Cost allocation > Results of cost allocation

Results of cost allocation is a part of the cost allocation feature in Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software. It lists the results of cost allocation executions in a table.

Description​

In the results table, you can find a result under the name you entered as the description in the execute cost allocations report. By double-clicking on a result, details of the result are shown in a Result and Protocol data tab.

Result​

You can select whether this tab shows the result as a table or a simple graph. To refresh the values in the tab, select Refresh1.png. The content of the tab depends on the cost allocation type of the cost allocation schema that you selected in the execution report.

  • Cost allocation type User license type consolidated (aggregated)

    The tab shows the aggregated number of license types allocated to cost carriers.

    By selecting Cost of license types and an SAP license contract, the tab shows the costs of license types allocated to cost carriers. The tab also shows the name, description, and evaluation date of the contract. The evaluation date is the date of the cost allocation execution. If necessary, you can change the date and recalculate values by selecting Calculate.png.

    You can define a default license contract in the Default SAP license contract setting in Contract and compliance.
