Investment Chargebacks

Managing chargebacks from investments involves setting up chargeback options. You can select from the following chargeback options or types:

• Standard. The investment or service charges the cost back to departments based on a standard, globally available debit rule. The finance manager or CA Clarity PPM administrator sets up standard chargeback rules.
• Investment. The investment or service charges costs back to departments based on a debit rule defined specifically for this investment or service. Investment and service managers setup debit rules for their investments or services.

  Investment-specific debit rules determine how much of the total cost each consuming department is charged for investments or services.

  If you charge remaining costs to overhead, the amount debited to consumer departments does not need to equal 100 percent of the costs. Your finance manager is responsible for setting up any standard, credit, or overhead rules, and for verifying that debits and credits equal. On the Chargebacks page for an investment or service, you can view a list of any debit rules defined for the investment or service. From this page, you can drill down and view, add, or update GL allocations for the selected debit rule.

Bill Expense identifies how costs are booked. Bill Expense is also used to match with transactions to determine whether investment costs are invoiced or not. Suppose your company has a policy to charge back only investments that are considered capital expenses. Suppose further that you manage e-mail servers. Companies consider servers and other mission-critical hardware to be depreciable and handle them differently during transaction processing. Any capital expense transactions that are processed against your e-mail servers are ignored and not charged back.
