Solution scenarios with Cost Accounting 365
Multi-level contribution margin accounting
Which cost units are profitable and with which products do I earn money? For the post-calculation of the products, is an exact post-calculation and a contribution margin calculation from DB 1 to DB4 required?
Internal cost allocation
Profit-centre-based income statements are standard in modern controlling. Distribute overheads and offset services beyond cost centres and cost units. Create your allocations and divide them into fixed and variable costs in production.
Up to 8 dimensions
Are the cost centre and cost unit within cost accounting not enough for you? Then create a contribution margin calculation per product, project, order or customer! Define additional dimensions flexibly and evaluate them separately.

Explanations:
Subscription periods with price guarantee of up to 3 years possible – thereafter cancelable with a notice period of 90 days (annual subscription). After expiry of the price agreement, the prices of the current stand price list valid at that time apply.
All subscriptions begin on the start date of activation, or based on the date of the order.
The subscription amount applies to one production instance (environment). Further production instances (environments) must be ordered additionally and named in each case.
Before billing for a particular period, the basic data (number of users, number of environments, subscriptions) are determined and form the basis for billing for the next period. For annual amounts already billed (SAAS), corresponding changes are billed on a pro rata basis.
1 Monthly billing with a minimum term of one year. After one year, automatic renewal for a further monthly period if not canceled 30 days before expiry.
2 Annual billing in advance – Automatic renewal for a further year at the end of the year if the contract is not terminated 90 days before the end of the term.

All features in detail
Cost Centre Accounting
The division into variable and fixed components of the costs is one of the most important functions of the app, in addition to the flexible allocation options. You can store percentage values or fixed amounts for cost types, based on which the cost analyses are carried out. Cost Centre Accounting enables you to determine the overhead rates for the formation of results and allows assessment processing and allocation rate formation right through to the OAS (operational accounting sheet).
