The Distributed Charge feature allows you to implement a cost recovery technique of chargeback. The Operating Cost, specified on the PARMS statement, is proportionately distributed to all jobs based on the percent of resources each job consumed.
The Distributed Charge feature is an immediate way of showing how much of the total operating cost is attributable to an individual job or a department.
A RATE statement is required so the report program calculates a total charge and a percent of total charge for each job. It is the percent of total charge that determines what percent of the operating cost is attributed to each individual job.
Job Distributed Charge =
Operating Cost * Percentage of Total Charge
_________________________________________________
100
Distributed Charge and Total Charge are mutually exclusive.
Because of rounding in the calculation of the percentage of total charge and in the calculation of charges, it is possible to recover 98%, 99% or even 101% or 102% of the operating cost specified on the PARMS statement. This is caused by rounding and is to be expected.
Note: JARS/OLF supports its own method of Cost Allocation and Recovery. If JARS/OLF is to be used for chargeback, then see the JARS/OLF User Guide.
