If your cost and business service usage details are sourced from an external
consumption table, then you can source the consumption details of the consumption table for
the statement item.

## Vorbereitungen

license.

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Business service consumption details can come from a table belonging to one or other
platform applications or from an external consumption table, in which case the
consumption details can be loaded on to the platform table. The consumption table
gives you the daily or monthly consumption details of a business service. Based on
the usage, the cost of the service is computed using the unit cost and quantity
consumed for a fiscal period.

For example, the monthly utility bill for household power consumption has details of
the appliances that you run and the power consumed in Watts, calculated monthly and
annually. Based on the unit price and the consumption quantity, the bill amount is
generated.
