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.
