New features at a glance
- Beginning immediately cost centers can be exchanged via mass data administration. This makes it simpler to switch locations and avoids time-consuming, manual exchange.
- The ability to retroactively change the project currency makes it easier to cost an existing project for a different location and project currency.
- As a new feature, project-specific machines can be used in costing types. This feature closes a gap in the existing cost estimation offer. Now it is possible to perform dynamic machine cost rate calculation in costing types.
- FACTON revised the project structure comparison enabling cost comparisons based on customer-specific costing elements.
- Controls were also implemented to govern the right to modify version properties retroactively. This brings to life the ability to perform cost comparison analytics on multiple projects.
