Accounting data
One Identity Manager allows you to settle the costs incurred of all internal and external IT services rendered by a company. Not only physical devices and software, leasing, or rental, but also storage space for repositories and mailboxes or time related factors such as accrued help desk calls can be entered and invoiced.
Accounting of IT expenditure is a very company-specific procedure. Therefore, the One Identity Manager module for accounting provides a basic structure for entering, evaluating, and invoicing accrued costs. It is important to customize this to suit your the company's needs.
One Identity Manager supports you with your question:
Who, when, what, and how much to whom at which price?
NOTE: Prerequisite for using accounting in One Identity Manager is the installation of the accounting module. For more information about installing, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

Internal as well as external data sources can be used to invoice IT services supplies and their costs. All company resources stored in the One Identity Manager database and their assigned price information are available as internal data sources. You can use a CSV file as an external data source, for example.
Price information is entered in the One Identity Manager database for service items. Add a service item for every company resource to be invoiced. You can group individual service items into service categories.
The supplied services are grouped together in voucher for accounting. You can create voucher automatically or manually.

Compiling price information
All price information, whether purchase price, sales price, or internal transfer price, relates to one unit of the given goods or services. This applies to service items, service categories, and voucher items. In the case of voucher items, item prices are also calculated from the amount and price. Item prices are rounded to 2 decimal places. The price supplies the voucher value for vouchers. This means they are the sum of the item prices of all the voucher's items.
Amounts are displayed by default to three decimal places, prices to two decimal places in the Manager. The number of decimal places to enter can be modified in the Designer. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
