Concept
Cost element: the small elements that we want to put in budget.
Budget is divided into cost elements, each of them is located on the 3 axes available in the application: BUSINESS AXIS , FINANCIAL AXIS and Department.
AXIS Business in turn is divided into three levels.
AXIS FINANCIAL positioning element is cost in terms of Accounting. This allows the comparison of values between LINE BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL, anytime.
Breakdown by department is useful if you manage part of the budget of another department, usually for cases support departments (more details in our scenario).
