Understand IT costs and manage them with purpose.

T-NEX Controlling holds cost centres, internal orders, activity types and cost categories together with their values. Contracts connect agreed annual amounts with purchase-order numbers and imported actual costs. Material and server records add quantities and prices for IT cost planning.

Each amount retains its business meaning: what is measured, which planning state it belongs to and which period it covers. Operating expenditure, personnel costs, investment and depreciation are therefore distinguished, as are actuals, budgets and different plan values.

Planning owners use dedicated forms for operating expenditure and investment, person-days, and material and server quantities. Reference values and variances indicate which positions need attention first. Plan values are entered with the required assignments and comments.

The planning assistant supports recurring runs, such as deriving plan values from contracts or carrying forward multi-year budgets. A preview shows affected records and totals before execution. Planning year and release status control when input is allowed and when the planning position is locked.

Import history and logs show whether the expected deliveries are available. Data-quality checks address missing assignments, incomplete master data and implausible distributions. Cost-allocation checks can, for example, verify that a source’s outgoing shares are complete.

Reports provide filters and paths from totals to the underlying positions. Data catalogues distinguish imported, manually maintained and calculated fields. Corrections can therefore be made at the appropriate source rather than only against a visible total.
