3. Select a department from the Department drop-down menu.
4. Type the percentage of ownership in the Ownership % field. If you do not see a department
listed, add it to the list as described in the topic, ” Adding Departments ” on page 625. Click the
Manage Departments link. After you have added the department, close the window you used
to add the department and then refresh the page.
5. Click OK.
The department with its percentage of ownership is added to the table.
6. If multiple departments own the element repeat the steps above for each department. You can
have departments owning more than 100 percent of the element.
7. (Optional) Specify a monthly infrastructure charge for when asset-based calculation is being
done. This charge is identical for each department and is applied once each month on top of
their total ownership cost. Modifying the infrastructure charge impacts the asset-based
chargeback result for all department owners.
For example, the infrastructure cost is not included when you view the chargeback for individual
elements; however, the infrastructure cost is added to the Total Cost/Month value in the
Asset-based Chargeback report. It is also displayed when you view chargeback per department.
The infrastructure cost is added to each department, regardless of whether the department owns
one or 100 elements.
a. Click the Set Infrastructure Cost button.
b. Type the monthly infrastructure charge for when asset-based calculation is performed.
c. Click OK.
8. When you are done with assigning the element to a department, click the Save Changes
button.
Step 3 - Review Asset-based Chargeback Result
IMPORTANT: The management server displays chargeback information up to the end of the
previous month. For example, assume you view chargeback information in the middle of March. The
calculations for chargeback would include the month of February, but not March.
To view the result of Asset-based Chargeback:
1. Select the option, Step 3 - Review Asset-based Chargeback Result., at the top of the page.
2. If you see empty values, verify you have provided the required values in the previous steps.
The ownership cost is determined by the following formula:
(Depreciation) x (Ownership %) = Ownership Cost
Ownership Cost is how much owning the element will cost a department. The depreciation is
determined by the depreciation method you selected in Step 1 - Specify Financial information.
