Creating cost formulae in OpsCenter
After you create cost variables, create the formula that define the cost of various services to run cost reports.
To create a cost formula
- Log on to the OpsCenter console with administrator privileges.
- In the OpsCenter console, click Settings > Chargeback.
Click Cost Formulae.
- On the Cost Formulae tab, click Add.
- Enter the name of the formula.
- Select a cost variable from the drop-down list.
You need to select at least one cost variable.
- Optionally, to define formulae containing more than one variable, click Add new cost variable. Select a different variable from the drop-down list.
You can also modify the formulae later to add or delete variables.
- Click OK.
You now can use the formula to create cost reports. These reports help you evaluate the cost of services and make decisions about what to charge for performing those services.
