The Cost Reconciliation Report lists the difference between costs and charges by cost center, invoice category, or charging element. It allows management to determine the effectiveness of the rate setting. Figure 6-16 shows a sample of the cost center version of the Cost Center Reconciliation Report. The report excludes all Cost Center 1s that are designated as NOBILL in the ACTCCA file. The report heading contains the installation name and the report name (for example, Cost Reconciliation Report). REPORT OPTIONS The available options for this report are: o Data Center Costs Before running the report, you should enter data center costs in sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(COSTREC). You can specify them as total costs for the entire data center, by invoice category, or by computation code (charging element). o Number of Input Cycles At the time of execution, the number of cycles of the Monthly Financial Recap File to be used as input is specified as SYSPARM=ACTn, where n is the number of cycles. The job is shipped with ACT12 to indicate that you are to use 12 cycles. If you omit the ACTn parameter, the default is 1. RUNNING THE REPORT Run the report from the Cost Reconciliation Report option from the IS Financial Management menu (MWF;4;2;4;3;5). The JCL for this report is in sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(ACTCOSTR).
