Cost allocation

Access through: Cost allocation

With the Cost allocation feature in Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software, you can allocate the costs of SAP users to cost carriers. In this way, you get an overview of the distribution of SAP costs in your company.

Description​

The Cost allocation feature consists of Cost carrier hierarchies, Cost allocation schemas, an execution report, and a report result overview.

Best practice​

To get the most out of the cost allocation feature in Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software, perform the following steps:

  • Determine your company's cost structures and create the cost carriers and the cost carrier hierarchy in Cost carrier hierarchies.

  • Decide whether you want to allocate costs based on users per license type, users only, CPU time, or dialog steps before you create cost allocation schemas.

  • If you want to allocate costs based on aggregated users per license type, maintain the license contracts in Contract management to get current costs.

  • To get current data, load the user data or execute the rule set that you want to use in the report before you execute the cost allocation report.
