These can be departments, projects, teams, or even individual employees, depending on the organizational structure and the level of detail required for cost tracking. The primary purpose of identifying kustannuskontaktit is to gain better insight into where and why costs are being incurred, enabling more effective budgeting, control, and analysis.
