Editing the cost coefficients
This section describes how to use the MSU Cost Editor to edit your cost coefficients and manage multiple cost tables.
You can use the MSU Cost Editor to:
- Edit the cost coefficients for each MLC product
- Create multiple Cost Tables to manage future changes to MLC product costs or alternative pricing arrangements
- Set the active Cost Table to be referenced by the Model Builder Tasks when building cost models
- Update and install changes to the Product Table
When setting up Cost Analyzer, use the MSU Cost Editor to enter the actual cost information from your contract with IBM and adjust each component of the cost so that it accurately reflects the real cost structure that has been established for your enterprise.
To set up your cost tables, complete the following tasks with the MSU Cost Editor:
Specify the cost coefficients that Cost Analyzer uses to calculate your MLC product costs
For more information, see Using-the-MSU-Cost-Editor
Override the default pricing metric type used for a particular MLC product (if applicable)
For more information, see Overriding-the-pricing-metric-type
Designate which MLC products accrue charges based on Single Version Charge (SVC)
