Standard criteria are proposed to process costs modeled on objects and initiatives.
*For more details on modeling of costs, see Costs Modeling Principle.
*For more details on initiative modeling of costs, see Modeling Initiative Costs.
Standard criteria enabling analysis of costs declared on initiatives as a function of their type and nature are the following:
For type:
Capital expenses
Operating expenses
For nature:
Infrastructure costs
Software licenses costs
Manpower costs
Service costs
The names of standard criteria enabling analysis of costs declared on objects carry the extension "Reference", for example "Reference Costs".
