    About this task

    Compare cost models if you want to see how the expenses in a potentially new cost model breakdown into allocations. The data shown in the cost model comparison is actual data from the bucketing stage and actual allocation data. If you didn’t yet complete the bucketing and allocation stages in the workbench, no data appears.

    You can only compare two cost models at a time.
