Financial Management Business Application Costing dashboard - Legacy

The Business Application Costing dashboard provides an executive view into the total expenses on business applications consolidated for a quarter and year-to-date. The dashboard provides visibility on the application cost to an extent that you can drill the data on top spenders down to the buckets that contribute to the application cost, and business units that use the applications.

The dashboard is based on the Business Applications Costing cost model. This cost model aligns business applications to business units and hence enables you to know the cost of applications that support each business unit.
