Cost Allocation Backtracking
Last updated: 2025-11-25 18:13:41
Background Note
To meet customer needs for recalculating historical bills with the latest cost allocation rules, we are launching the cost allocation backtracking feature. This feature allows users to flexibly adjust and recalculate historical monthly statements based on current cost allocation rules, enabling dynamic split and reassembly of bill data. It helps users better grasp and analyze cost allocation cases, enhancing the accuracy and flexibility of financial management to assist businesses in achieving more precise cost analysis and account management.
