What Are Splitting Rules?
Splitting rules are used for allocating shared costs across cost categories. Shared costs include the costs for the resources (network, storage, or resource packages) shared across departments or the costs that cannot be directly split by cost tag or enterprise project configured for the resources. These costs are not directly attributable to a singular owner, and hence cannot be categorized into a singular cost category. With the splitting rules, you can equitably allocate these costs across your cost categories.
Defining splitting rules is an optional step when you create cost categories. A splitting rule consists of source, target, and allocation method.
- Source: These are the group of shared costs that you want to split or the costs that cannot be directly categorized. Source can be any of your existing category rules.
- Target: These are the cost category rules across which you want to split your shared costs defined by the source.
- Allocation Method: This is how you want your source costs to be split across your targets. You can choose from three allocation methods: Proportionally, Evenly, and Custom.
