Overview

- Cost Methods
- Currencies
- Cost Types
- methods: The cost method defines what types of cost-related fields interact in which types of ways, in order to determine what is billed to the client, what is paid to the vendor, and what is income to the agency
- Agency, Client, and Vendor Currencies: What type of currency or currencies the agency, client, and vendor transact in.

Cost methods define what type of cost-related fields are available, and how they are calculated. Depending on the selected cost method option, some cost-related fields are related and can be calculated from each other, and some fields are not.
Each top-level line on a Schedule Grid (a Cost Package, a standalone Media Package that is not part of a Cost Package, or a standalone Placement) can apply a different cost method.
There are three cost method options:
- Standard: Available for all OneStrata enterprises by default
Margin: Gated and managed by FreeWheel, available on request
- Allocated: Available for all OneStrata enterprises by default

Cost Methods are like pricing models; they define which Schedule Grid fields accept user-inputted values and which formulas are applied to those fields in order to calculate what is paid to the Vendor or billed to the Client. Each top-level line on a Schedule Grid (a Cost Package, a Media Package that is not part of a Cost Package, or a Placement that is not part of a Media or Cost Package) can apply a different Cost Method.
OneStrata has three Cost Method options:
- Standard Cost Method
- Margin Cost Method
- Allocated Cost Method
Depending on Enterprise or Agency settings, the Margin Cost Method and Allocated Cost Method options might not be available.
Cost = Client Gross Cost If one set of |
vendor or |
client costs (a combination of Unit and Rate, Unit and Total Cost, or Rate and Total Cost) are defined, all other Cost Types, like Client Commission or Vendor Discount, can be calculated from that set. | |||||||
| Vendor costs and |
client costs are not directly connected, and are calculated separately: Vendor Net Cost =/= Client Net Cost |
If one set of vendor costs are defined, the other |
vendor |
cost types can be calculated from that set but the |
client cost types cannot, and vice versa. Vendor and |
client costs are connected by a third value, the Margin Percentage value |

OneStrata provides support for up to three different currencies within a single transaction:
- Vendor Agency Currency, or VC AC for short
- Agency Client Currency, or AC CC for short
- Client Vendor Currency, or CC VC for short
Costs and rates are shown in one or more of these currencies, with VC, with AC, CC, or CC VC appended to indicate which currency type the value is in.

In OneStrata, cost types—fields related to calculating costs—are broadly grouped into three types:
- Client costs: Costs between the agency and the client
- Vendor costs: Costs between the agency and the vendor
- Other costs: Non-client-related and non-vendor-related costs
When a cost type is displayed or used, it specifies which type of currency the cost type is in:
- Example: Vendor Net Cost (VC) refers to the vendor net cost, displayed in the Vendor Currency
- Example: Vendor Net Cost (CC) refers to the vendor net cost, displayed in the Client Currency
