Providing accounting information

Many corporations depend on a finance department to manage and control finances and costs. IT organizations also need accounting information to manage, calculate, and reduce the total cost of ownership for their IT CI portfolio.

Configuration administrators provide CI accounting information in the Financials tab on the CI Information form:

• Use the fields in the Financials tab on the CI Information form to specify the cost center, requisition ID, and other purchasing information.
• Use the Cost Entries table to add costs that are associated with the CI.
• For CI records, use the Accounting Information area to provide information about depreciation, tax credits, market value, and book value.
