| - | + | In Metis Smart Suite, cost groups can be added, deleted, and edited. Cost groups are used as a means of grouping similar positions together which can later be implemented when calculating statistics; in other words, a means of viewing specific positions in a defined way. These cost groups can for example picture internal cost centers in order for a classification to be done. | |
