The "Building Cost History" data object documents the annual operating costs of buildings, broken down by cost type, and serves as the central data source for operating cost billing. It records both the actual costs incurred and the portions that can be allocated to tenants, along with the corresponding allocation factors and units. The historical cost data is used for billing periods, post-calculations, and comparative analyses and is directly linked to the master data for buildings and cost types.
