Info

What is a cost anomaly?

A cost anomaly is an unexpected cost behavior, detected in recent transactions. An anomaly does not necessarily involve a real problem, but they are intended to keep track of costs that can potentially be an indicator of some problems.

This widget shows a list of all the anomalies detected in the current period, which can be of different types:

• Peak: A cost considered to be significantly high compared to previous 3 months transactions.
• Total Peaks: It is recognized if new cost centers are impacting total spending abnormally.
• Fraud Protection: Using a time window of 3 months is established the behaviour of a cost centre and every 4 hours is verified if it exceed the expected expense.
• Forgotten: A cost that is constantly increasing over time without any fluctuation over the previous 3 months.
• Geography: A sudden cost in a geographic area where almost no costs have been produced for the past 3 months.
• Triple: A total month cost which value has tripled from the same category of 2 month back.
