9. Pricing Models

PriApps allows organizations to assign Costs and Pricing information to the print, copy, scan and fax usage it tracks. Collectively termed Accounting, cost and pricing information is used in a variety of ways:

• To assign costs to an individual’s usage for budgetary and reporting purposes, or to charge a Department or Group for an individual’s use of the print and copy infrastructure.

• To assign costs to different Departments, Projects, Clients or any other Cost Center or Profit Center the organization requires. These are collectively called Cost Accounts within PriApps.

• To assign pricing to usage for billing purposes, such as billing clients. This is known as Cost Recovery.

• Applying costs to usage for Quota Management purposes.

This section describes how to create and assign Pricing Models. The following sections cover Cost Accounts and configuring Quota Management in more detail.

*Most organizations will only require one pricing model for their needs, however PriApps offers the flexibility to create multiple Pricing models if required.

To begin configuring Pricing Models, select Accounting from the sidebar menu, then select Pricing Models:
