There is a functionality I would need in my company :
Adding One Time Costs for Infrastructure for example.
Today, infrastructure costs are placed in “Running Costs” so I can put my VM cost here, but I also have one time costs like : VM configuration, installation etc…
I would like to be able to create others costs on this One Time part
In the example you provided, the “VM configuration, installation” is a one time cost, but not to be reflected as a one time cost to add in a specific automation, but rather add it to the cost with the infrastructure and make it a shared costs (for this reason it should be placed under Running costs).
For example: you pay 100000 for a VM and anoter 20.000 for installation etc. The total cost with the VM is 120.000. But this cost should be reflected as a shared cost when it comes to allocating it to one automation, because that VM will support the robots running for several processes, not just one. Hence, it is a shared cost, when it comes to performing a cost-benefit analysis for 1 process.
The only one time costs you have with an automation are the implementation people costs. All the other costs are running costs.
