Currently, we keep our monthly Cost Transparency project synced with our Accounting moth-end costs.  However, our CIO recently asked about amortizing some of our larger payments to neutralize some of the volatility in our Unit Costs (on a monthly basis).  Does anyone else make an attempt to amortize larger invoice payments?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Doug,

It really should be a discussion with the Finance team to put through the accruals and prepayments to "amortize" the invoice over the service period. Whilst you could do this in Apptio and not in the General Ledger if you were to do so then I would recommend that you clear tag the overlay items so you can filter them out and demonstrate that the data in Apptio reconciles to the General Ledger.

Best of luck
