    2.9 Effective Cost Analysis

    2.9.1 Description

    FOCUS enables practitioners to analyze costs without having to distribute upfront fees and discounts, taking discounts and the amortization of upfront fees paid for services into account. The EffectiveCost column represents cost after negotiated discounts, commitment discounts, and the applicable portion of relevant, prepaid purchases (one-time or recurring) that covered this charge. EffectiveCost is commonly utilized to track and analyze spending trends.
