Charge Code Setup

Instructions on how to set up a charge code to track and allocate costs or expenses associated with specific activities, projects, or programs within a PPA (Program, Project, or Activity) framework

In CloudThrottle you can setup Charge code to serves as a unique identifier for specific transactions or activities, allowing for accurate tracking, reporting, and analysis.

Ideally, the charge code should align with the budget period to ensure accurate tracking and analysis of expenses or revenue within that timeframe.
