I realize that most people have much larger shops than we do, but in our environment we have no "chargeback" processing. We're one big happy family (bank). Our applications are so intertwined there would be no way we could say one set of jobs belongs to one "department" while another belongs to another. Well, maybe we could separate Human Resources, but that's about it. I'm sure that the MVS features that allow you to collect this information are useful for those who need to do this, but I for one am glad that we don't. We can leave that to the bean counters. :-)
