Calculate the costs for your events

Costing segments are used exclusively for in-house cost planning. They allow you to compare costs and income without creating a customer segment. To calculate contribution margins or discounts for external customer segments, use the Kalkul Calculation function in the side navigation (Calculate contribution margins). Calculation segments are available for quotes, orders or invoices and correspond to normal segments in terms of content.
Note: Items in costing segments do not trigger an inventory alert. These items are only used for internal calculation.

In-house (staff) planning segments are not available for costing segments. The use of costing segments needs to be enabled under Administration Administration > Administration Settings > VA Events by a user with administrative rights. There is no limit to the number of costing segments.
