Example: replacing 2 filters per air conditioning unit

Activity definition:

Asset = air conditioning unit

Quantity = 3 (air conditioning units)

Expected costs:

Purchase item = filter

Unit = pieces

Required quantity = 2

Price per unit = $50

Enter the same value as the value in the Quantity field in the activity definition. This is the quantity that must be produced by means of the value specified in Required quantity.

Example: 3 (air conditioning units).

Select a relevant unit of measurement from the dialog box available in this field. The selected unit applies to the value in the Required quantity field.

This read–only field displays the unit that applies to the value in the Produced quantity field.

Select a standard cost category from the dialog box available in this field. A standard cost category is a classification of the costs according to function.

Select a standard cost type from the dialog box available in this field. A standard cost type is a classification of the costs according to type.

Select a cost type. There are two options: Fixed costs or Variable costs.

If you select Variable, the costs are calculated taking into account the quantity specified on the maintenance activity definition.

If you select Fixed, costs are calculated without taking into account the quantity specified on the maintenance activity definition.

Fixed costs (excluding tax / VAT) are calculated as follows:

(Percentage to be completed (of the activity) / 100) * (Required Quantity * Price per Unit)

The price including VAT is calculated by multiplying the result * ((100 + VAT percentage) / 100)

Variable costs (excluding VAT) are calculated as follows:

(Percentage to be completed (of the activity) / 100) * Quantity (of the activity) * (Required Quantity / Produced Quantity * Price per Unit)

The price including VAT is calculated by multiplying the result * ((100 + VAT percentage) / 100)

--- Fixed cost calculation ---

Excluding VAT: (75 / 100) * (0,25 * 10) = 1,88

Including VAT: 1,88 * (100 + 21) /100 = 2,27

--- Variable cost calculation ---

Excluding VAT: (75 / 100) * 2 * (0,25 / 1 * 10) = 3,75

Including VAT: 3,75 * (100 + 21) /100 = 4,54

Select the appropriate tax rate / VAT rate.
