Allocate expenses to the responsible area

Select how you would like to allocate your expenses using numerous built-in industry best practice formulas. Expenses can be allocated to SG&A overhead, General Factory Overhead, based on the area occupied by equipment, shared by a department, directly to equipment, and several other ways.

Employees that work in multiple departments or machines can have their hours and expenses split between multiple cost centers, departments, factory overhead, SG&A overhead, or any combination.

Use your costs & rates to make business and pricing decisions.

Cost Rates Advisor will calculate the out-of-pocket costs and budgeted hourly rates for your equipment or service so you know how much to charge to recover costs and make a profit.

It gives you the rates needed by your MIS/ERP software for estimating, pricing, and tracking job costs such as Enterprise 32, Avanti, ePace, Monarch, Tharstern, HiFlow, Accura, Printreach, Printsmith, Radius, Microsoft Dynamics, and other software.
