2.3.3 Activating Accounting for NSM AND CA-IAM
Do NOT use these checklists unless you followed the checklist
in Chapter 3 of the PIOM to install CA MICS Accounting and
Chargeback Option in your complex and then completed the
checklist in Section 2.2 of this guide.
Once CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback Option is installed,
use these checklists if you wish to charge for CA I/S
Inventory and Assets Manager (CA-IAM), NSM NT resource
Accounting (NTA), NSM Asset Management Option (AMO), and NSM
UNIX resource Accounting (NIX).
Review the discussion of external file charging so
that you will be familiar with its purpose and the
different specifications that need to be made. For more
information, see section 4.4.
When you activate charging for CA-IAM, NTA, NIX or for AMO
you must fill in the file specifications and review the
default charging algorithm and its algorithm qualifications.
You may optionally code an exit for these special external
files.
Each computation code used in an External File Rate Table
must be defined in the Charging Element definition. We have
predefined the computation codes in the 2100-2105 range for
CA-IAM, 2801-2826 for NTA, 2900-2930 for NIX and 2120-2125
for AMO. The default computation code is 2100 for inventory
and assets charging, 2801 for NT resource accounting, 2120
for Asset Management option and 2900 for UNIX resource
accounting.
You can use a default charging strategy to bring in your
CA-IAM, NTA, NIX or AMO charges. This default strategy uses:
o Direct charging with the TYPE variable
o A rate of 1.0
o One algorithm
o No algorithm qualification
o Computation code 2100, 2120, 2900 and 2801
o Invoice category 2120, 2110, 1750 and 1800
o Invoice category description
"I/S Inventory and Assets"
"NT Systems"
"UNIX Resource Accounting"
"NSM Asset Management"
Using the default strategy, all of the inventory and assets
charges accumulate on one reporting line in the standard
reports.
There are two checklists below:
o Use the default strategy checklist to activate the
default strategy.
o Use the alternate checklist to design your own charging
strategy.
DEFAULT STRATEGY CHECKLIST
Follow the steps in this checklist to use the default

a value other than *ALL) on the Algorithm
Qualification panel, you must ensure that the
specifications for the SUBSYSID or SUBTYPE
variables are appropriate. LOCATION is the default
for SUBSYSID and TYPE is the default for SUBTYPE.)
If you want to do prorating, change the
External File Specifications panel options as
follows:
The Prorating option must be YES.
You must enter the INPUTACT DD statement for your
Uxxfff file on the External File Specifications
panel. This DD will be included in the generation
of ACTfffTB job and it will be used to input the
external file.

You can use any of the new external file
computation codes or assign any computation codes
you defined. See CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback
Option section 4.2.1.3 for list of the computation
codes. The default algorithm is using VARIABLE
VALUE with the TYPE variable as the qualifier to
allow you to have different computation codes based
on the value of TYPE from the input records. A
rate of 1.0 is used to indicate the input quantity.
You can insert a line if you want another
algorithm, then enter an algorithm identifier and a
description on the Algorithm Selection panel. Then
use the Select line command to display the
Algorithm Specification panel and enter the
computation codes and rates for the algorithm.
