Removing a Department from Chargeback Manager
Over time, departments in your company may merge and others may be dissolved. To keep up with
these changes, you may need to remove obsolete departments from your list. If an elements is only
assigned to this department, it no longer has an owner. Likewise, if an element is assigned to this
department and several others, it continues to be assigned to the other departments.
For example, assume you want to deleted a department called TooSmall. The TooSmall department
owns 50 percent of a host and the Server department owns 50 percent of the host. When you
remove TooSmall, the host is only owned by the Server department by 50 percent.
