Chargeback Manager 578
Step 6b - Assume the salvage value is $100. Determine if the asset value after depreciation is less
than the salvage value by using the following formula:
Asset value of the month ($2290) - Depreciation for the month ($192.36) =
$2097.64
Since the $2097.64 (the depreciated asset value) is greater than the salvage value ($100), the
asset value for the month is $2097.64. Go to Step 6c. The management server repeats Steps 6a
through 6c for 12 months (the delta from Step 3), unless the depreciated asset value reaches the
salvage value or 0 if the salvage value is not specified.
Viewing Chargeback
This section describes the following:
• ” Viewing Chargeback by Element ” on page 578
• ” Viewing Chargeback by Department ” on page 578
• ” Viewing Chargeback by Owner ” on page 579
Viewing Chargeback by Element
You can view chargeback for an element by clicking the icon next to the element listed on the
Asset tab. If you see empty values, make sure chargeback has been set up, as described in ” Setting
Up Asset-Based Chargeback Manager ” on page 564 and ” Setting Up Storage-Based Chargeback
Manager ” on page 567.
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 February.
The calculations for chargeback would include the month of January, but not February.
To view chargeback by element:
1. Access Chargeback Manager as described in ” Accessing Chargeback Manager ” on
page 555.
2. Click the icon next corresponding to the element you want to view chargeback.
Asset-based chargeback is displayed.
3. (Applications only) To view storage-based chargeback, click Storage-based under the
Chargeback node to the left of the Asset-based chargeback information.
Chargeback information for the element is displayed. If you see missing values, set up
chargeback as described in the topics, ” Setting Up Asset-Based Chargeback Manager ” on
page 564 and ” Setting Up Storage-Based Chargeback Manager ” on page 567.
Viewing Chargeback by Department
You can determine how much a department is being charged for equipment use by viewing
chargeback by department. This feature lets you view the monthly costs associated with using
hardware and applications. If you see empty values, make sure chargeback has been set up, as
