We are using ITSM 7.6.4, Asset Management and I have a question on reporting 
contract costs.

I am putting in a SUN contract, which consists of a Master Support contract, 
sub-Master CSI contracts, and individually priced 'model' maintenance 
contracts. The maintenance contracts are connected to computer system CIs 
(servers) and have their 'Cost per Asset' fields set to the maintenance cost of 
that type of asset. On the individual computer system, the cost of the contract 
displays on the Financials tab, and is reflected in the 'Total Cost' field.

My question is, how do I see the cost from the contract side?

If my Maintenance contract is $1,000 per asset, and there are 12 assets 
related, is there somewhere that notes this contract costs $12,000? What about 
one or two levels up, from the master contracts? Can I see the total costs 
there?

Alternatively, is there a better way to represent a set of maintenance 
contracts, organized under master agreements, that have different line item 
costs attached to specific assets? The goal is to have the costs as another 
recorded datapoint of the asset, so as they reach EOL or contracts come due, 
decisions can be made on several levels (move to a new model, renew 
maintenance, switch to a different resource entirely, etc).

As always, if I have missed this in the documentation, please feel free to 
point me towards it.
