Planning and setting up charge-back information

Follow these steps to plan and to set up charge-back information.

1. Plan how to implement cost centers and the charge-back process at your company:
   1. Determine the cost centers at your company. Determine whether any cost centers split their costs with other cost centers (target cost centers). See The-charge-back-cycle.
   2. Decide which employees must belong to each cost center.
   3. Plan appropriate time periods for implementing charge-backs.
2. Work with the application administrator to configure BMC Asset Management with the information from step 1. The administrator must complete the following tasks:

   1. If necessary, set up cost centers for the company, including split cost centers. For more information, see Adding cost centers.

   2. Add all application users to appropriate cost centers. For more information, see Adding cost centers for people.

   3. Set up appropriate time periods for implementing charge-backs. For more information, see Configuring charge-back periods.
