A Cost Settlement Profile (CSP) is a group of spaces or rentable units used to organize the cost allocation to a group of lessees. The most important characteristic of a cost settlement profile is the 'scope' or grouping of the spaces or rentable units under which the costs are distributed.

You can select one or more properties (sub-properties are automatically included) or you can select a set of individual spaces. In case you select one or more properties , you can still select a set of spaces that should be excluded from this selection (for more information on including or excluding spaces, see Cost settlement profile fields and Spaces and Space usage fields).

Each CSP contains a definition for one or more cost types like gas, water, electricity, etc. which are defined in the so-called CSP line(s). A CSP line is linked to a formula that describes how the costs of that specific type should be divided over the spaces / rentable units.
