Tracking the cost of a product or service is an essential part of service plan management. Cúram Service Planning puts particular emphasis on monitoring plan item cost within service plans.
The plan item cost can be derived from a fixed cost that is configured when creating plan items in the administration component. Plan item cost can also be derived from the actual cost of delivering a plan item as entered by a case worker, or it can be calculated based on a running total of the cost of an associated product delivery.
A cost statement can be generated at any stage of the service plan delivery. It displays all estimated and actual costs involved in the delivery of a service plan at the time the statement is created. The expandable tree structured featured in the Tracking Gantt is also featured in the cost statement. For each element, the statement provides an estimated and actual cost, which allows for the comparison of these costs. The costs of the sub-goals, plan groups, and the overall plan are derived from the accumulated cost of the individual plan items.
