Charge-back plug-in configuration - Documentation for Remedy Action Request System 19.08
BMC Asset Management uses the Cost module to track costs associated with configuration items (CIs). This integration uses the common cost creation dialog box that is provided by the Cost module. The fields on the CI user interface forms integrate with BMC Asset Management forms to show cost data related with a CI.
BMC Asset Management also uses the charge-back functionality in the Cost module. Charge-backs are roll-ups of costs that are incurred over a period and involved in the various cost centers in a company. The charge-back component of the Cost module generates charge-back entries, enables the financial manager to make appropriate adjustments to the costs, and generates invoices to be sent to the individual cost centers.
Plug-in type
Charge-back is a Java-based Filter API plug-in.
AR System server connectivity
The Charge-back plug-in connects to the AR System server by using the BMC Remedy AR System Java API. The plug-in (chargebacks.jar) is installed in the <ARInstallationFolder>\pluginsvr\chb folder.
