Service Cost Profit Loss Analysis portlet

You can display a summary of profit and loss data related to the cost of a business service. The application uses the price information for the service to calculate the total revenue for the service. The difference between total cost and total revenue determines the profit or loss data for the service.

Note

The application uses the cost model scenario to determine the cost models related to the service and then uses the cost data related to the active cost models within the cost model scenario.
