Owning FNMS Cloud and App Portal, I want to define best practices for chargeback. Do we have recommendations on best practices for chargeback? What process should be in place, what fields can be used to define the department being charged back, and is there a way to leverage FNMS and App Portal for chargeback automation? Thank you.

I have seen several organizations take a regular snapshot of data from the FlexNet system and send it through a process to calculate internal chargebacks for end user hardware and software that is deployed. The following data elements that are often tracked in FlexNet can be helpful for this:

Hi Kirk,
Do you have any technical documentation on how Apptio reads from FNMS, which includes what data flows from that integration?

@auntalan0 - You will need to reach out to your Apptio account manager. The integration was designed by the Apptio Team.
It is not a direct integration. It involves creating some specific Custom Report Views within the FlexNet Manager User Interface. You would then run the reports, download the output to CSV files, and then the CSV files can be imported into Apptio.
Also please note that the strategic partnership between Flexera and Apptio is not as strong today as it was 2 years ago when the integration was created.

I also found this blog by Flexera - while it is many years old, the concepts are still relevant today.
