SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Classify IT spend line items into TBM Taxonomy v5.0.1 cost pools and cost sub-pools to enable auditable, transparent cost modeling across IT spend.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads GL extracts, spend files, budgets, and COA mappings and maps each item to TBM cost pools and sub-pools (Staffing, Outside Services, Cloud Services, Hardware, Software & SaaS, Data Center Facilities, Telecom, Misc Costs, Cross Charges).
  • Applies Bundled Contract Registry guidance to split multi-component contracts and assigns appropriate CapEx/OpEx designations, with confidence levels and review notes.
  • Produces output artifacts suitable for governance reviews: Pool-level Summary, Sub-Pool Detail, Detailed Line-Item Mapping, and a Review Items log.

Quick Start

Provide a GL extract (CSV) and run the mapper to generate pool/sub-pool classifications with confidence levels and a review-items log.

FAQPage Schema
How do I classify IT spend into TBM cost pools from a GL extract?

To classify IT spend into TBM cost pools, provide a GL extract CSV to the mapper. It assigns each line item to TBM v5.0.1 cost pools and sub-pools, outputting a detailed mapping with confidence levels and a review-items log.

What is the TBM taxonomy v5.0.1 cost pool classification process?

TBM taxonomy v5.0.1 cost pool classification maps raw IT spend data into standard pools like Staffing, Cloud Services, and Hardware. It uses defined decision rules and capitalization policies to ensure auditable cost transparency.

How do I split bundled IT contracts for CapEx and OpEx classification?

Splitting bundled IT contracts for CapEx and OpEx classification requires applying a Bundled Contracts registry. This process breaks down multi-component agreements to assign appropriate capital or operational designations with confidence levels.

Can I use budget files and COA mappings to map IT spend to TBM sub-pools?

Yes, you can use budget files and COA mappings to map IT spend to TBM sub-pools. The mapper reads these sources alongside GL extracts to produce consistent sub-pool detail and pool-level summary outputs.

What output artifacts are generated for IT spend cost transparency reviews?

IT spend cost transparency reviews generate a Pool-level Summary, Sub-Pool Detail, Detailed Line-Item Mapping, and a Review Items log. These artifacts provide governance teams with auditable TBM classifications and review notes.
