# Review and submit the cost configuration

# Review and submit the cost configuration {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated November 5, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Review all Cost Framework configurations, verify the calculations, and submit to activate the Cost Framework.

## Before you begin

Role required: AI steward (`sn_ai_governance.ai_steward`).

## About this task

Before activating the Cost Framework, review all configurations to verify accuracy. The review screen displays how money saved is calculated (based on the hourly rate), how total cost is calculated (all vendors combined), and
a preview of the net returns calculation. After your verification is complete, the system uses these calculations in dashboards and reports.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI Control TowerSettingsRules and TemplatesCost.
2. Select Edit configuration.
3. Make sure you have configured the average rate, added integrated vendor pricing, and added other vendor pricing (if applicable).  
   For more information, see [Configure average hourly rate for your organization](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/AmiCPLJDWRC52DyMqG315Q "Set the average hourly rate that the Cost Framework uses to convert hours saved into financial savings."), [Add costs for integrated vendors](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/FYj1uCs8PU5eraFOYaDMdA "Add the cost of a vendor or sub-vendor integrated with ServiceNow so that AI Control Tower includes it in the total Enterprise AI cost. Set a sub-vendor rate when a specific service is billed differently from the vendor."), and [Add costs for other vendors](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/RtRkNhQTA0aC_k2YgyARJg "Configuring costs for LLM vendors without direct integrations with AI Control Tower requires manual input. You must manually enter token usage, direct costs, or a per-seat subscription. AI Control Tower can then include these costs in total AI cost calculations.").
4. Go to Preview cost \& savings section and review the details.
5. Select Submit to activate the Cost Framework.  
   The system uses these configurations for cost calculations.

## Result

Your Cost Framework configuration is complete and active. The system calculates money saved, total costs, and net returns based on your specifications, and dashboards and reports show the financial impact of your AI
investments.

## What to do next

Verify that the Cost Framework is active in the dashboards:

1. Navigate to AllAI Control TowerInsightsValue.
2. Confirm that the Productivity gains widget shows total money saved (not just hours), the Net AI Returns widget shows total calculated returns, and the Total AI Cost widget shows aggregated vendor costs.
3. Verify that these values match the values on the Cost setup page.

After submission:

* Monitor regularly: Check the Cost Framework dashboards weekly to track costs and savings.
* Update as needed: If vendor pricing changes or you add new vendors, reconfigure them from SettingsRules \& TemplatesCost.
* Review quarterly: Reassess hourly rates and vendor pricing quarterly to verify accuracy.
* Investigate anomalies: Watch for unexpected cost spikes or changes in savings patterns.
* Use for decisions: Share Cost Framework insights with stakeholders for budget and investment decisions.
