Standard cost category and standard cost type
Standard cost categories and types define FM services and standardize subsequent classifications, enabling the costs of facilities and activities to be specified uniformly. They also enable relevant calculations and information to be generated, and consequently facilitate a uniform comparison of FM costs.
In Planon ProCenter you can use standard cost categories and standard cost types to specify and classify your costs. Everywhere in Planon ProCenter where order costs are registered, there are two standard cost fields available, in which costs can be allocated according to function (=cost category) and according to type (=cost type).
 | A planned maintenance order's Standard cost category and Standard cost type are taken over from the standard order when a standard order is applied and the information is filled in there. If the standard cost category or standard cost type are not filled in on the standard order, the information is taken over from the order group of the planned maintenance order. |
Authorized users can maintain standard cost categories and standard cost types in the Supporting data navigation group, where they can define and maintain the necessary categories and types.
| | In Report Manager, you can design and generate special cost standards reports which enable you to retrieve a cost overview per cost category and per cost type. |
