COSTPOOL

The COSTPOOL dimension table defines the level at which the COSTMETHOD are defined and assigned for the COSTCATs. For example if an entity is using the RCC Method for all departments and all items, then only one COSTPOOL is necessary. It is also used to define the level at which an RVU is used. For example, if three labor Cost Categories are using the same RVU to allocate labor costs, one COSTPOOL can be used for the three Cost Categories. COSTPOOLs are a group of COSTCATs using the same method or RVU.

NOTE: In some cases the COSTPOOL and COSTCAT need to be the same, e.g., when the Reverse Markup Method is assigned, the calculated costs is always assigned to only one COSTCAT based on the markup table. See more under COSTCAT notes.
