Hello,
Well im trying to make my StruxureWare software to be one of the main products that we use in our DC and i stumbled upon a small issue..
Is there a way with SW DCO/DCE to monitor and calculate the amount of money spent on resources usage combined with the pricing of work orders to see the bigger picture?

Hi Gleb
The only thing that may be close to what you're after for energy usage costing is the StruxureWare Energy Efficiency module. Here's a demo screen capture.
As for pricing work orders, there is nothing in the current product to do this. If this was important to your organisation you could do some integration, e.g. simply via Excel or more sophisticated via a Finance and/or Change Management system.
Happy to discuss further with you
Cheers
Ed

First of all - thank you! this is great actually!
One more question..
Do you happen to know if there are any papers or YT videos regarding how to use this module?
And maybe a guide for the trend analysis option?

I would be inclined to try some manual calculations by exporting DCE data and DCO work orders and seeing how your finance data might apply. If you can make it happen manually, then perhaps it can be automated and your manual efforts will inform the works to automate.
