Overview of Cost Management

Cost Management is a cost accounting solution that helps companies to effectively manage their product costing, manufacturing, and inventory accounting business flows. The solution enables companies to maintain multiple cost books and financial ledgers to better meet external regulatory reporting and internal management reporting needs. It reduces manual cost maintenance tasks by providing automated rules-based engines and efficient cost processors tuned for high volume transaction environments.
