Create the products
Creating the products allows to associate a cost and to make statistics and analysis of expenses and TCO.
What is a product?
A product is a material product (shock absorber, battery…) or immaterial product (rent, contribution…) that will have to be paid to a supplier and, therefore, to which will be associated a cost, and therefore a type of cost (or an addendum), and therefore a family of services.
This association will allow you to make statistical analyses and to calculate the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) by gathering the costs by family of expenses.
How to create a product?
When creating a product, after giving a usage label, you must choose one of the types:
- Simple type: These are products that are not recurrent and are invoiced in the form of a simple purchase (a quantity and an amount), for example the purchase of 4 tires. A cost type is then associated with it.
- Compound type: This time it’s revenue tied to subscriptions, for example a long-term rental. When you create a compound product, you must choose to which Addendum Type you want to attach it. In fact, each addendum will have the business details corresponding to its type.
1. Enter the Product name.
2. Select the product family to which it belongs.
3. Select whether it is a simple or compound type and select the corresponding cost type or addendum.
