Charge-back plug-in configuration

BMC Helix ITSM: Asset Management uses the cost module to track costs associated with the configuration items (CIs) using the cost creation dialog box.  This integration uses the common cost creation dialog box that the Cost module provides. The fields on the CI user interface forms integrate with BMC Helix ITSM: Asset Management forms to show cost data related with a CI.

BMC Helix ITSM: Asset Management also uses the charge-back functionality in the Cost module. Charge-backs are roll-ups of costs incurred over a period and involved in the various cost centers in a company. The charge-back component of the Cost module generates charge-back entries, enables the financial manager to make appropriate adjustments to the costs, and generates invoices to be sent to the individual cost centers.
