# March
**Update 26.03.2026 Release #2**
### Improved Cost Management Structure (equipme App)
We’ve redesigned the Cost Management overview to give you a clearer and more structured understanding of your current costs.
Instead of navigating through scattered information, you now get a consolidated view that separates one-time and recurring expenses, making it easier to see where your costs come from and how they are distributed. The updated layout helps you quickly grasp your current spending without having to dig into individual records.
This makes the overview a much more useful starting point for understanding and managing costs across your organization.
### Cost Centers, Now with Full Visibility (equipme App)
Alongside the improved overview, Cost Management now includes a dedicated Cost centers view that gives you more control and transparency over your cost structure.
Within this view, you can not only manage and navigate your cost centers more easily, but also understand how they evolve over time. With the new export functionality, you can select a specific time range and generate a report that shows when instances were added, moved, or updated within a cost center.
This is especially helpful for internal reporting and controlling, as it allows you to trace changes and understand what happened and when—without relying on manual tracking or guesswork.

It’s important to note that the export reflects current cost values, not historical costs for the selected period.

### Improved Visibility of Billing Addresses (equipme Pro)
We’ve improved how billing addresses are displayed in Open Positions to make financial information easier to access and understand.
Instead of having to check individual records, you can now see the billing address directly within the overview. This gives you immediate context when reviewing positions and helps you stay aligned with the correct billing details.
At the same time, billing addresses are captured at the moment a position is created and remain unchanged even if the associated cost center is updated later. This ensures consistency and makes it easier to trace billing information over time.

### Exchange for Stock in Order Requests
With **Exchange for Stock**, users can see right away whether a product they are about to order is already available in the warehouse.
When creating an order request, the system checks the inventory in the background. If matching items are in stock, the available quantity is displayed directly in the order request overview. This makes it easy to decide: Do we really need to place a new order, or can we use what’s already there?
The feature is built directly into the existing Order Requests view. There’s no separate workflow and no extra steps. The availability appears in the list itself, so users can make a decision immediately. If needed, filters can be used to show only items that exactly match the requested product.
The main benefit is simple: better visibility and smarter decisions. Instead of ordering new devices or assets by default, teams can make use of existing stock first. This helps avoid unnecessary purchases, reduces costs, and ensures that available resources are used efficiently — all within the normal ordering process.

#### Multiple Managers per Cost Center
Managing cost centers often involves more than one responsible person. To better reflect real organizational structures, cost centers can now be assigned to **multiple managers instead of just one**.
This makes it easier to handle approvals, responsibilities, and coordination, especially in larger teams or shared departments. All assigned managers are treated equally and can act on behalf of the cost center where permissions apply.
To keep the setup flexible, managers can either be assigned directly or derived from a group structure. This allows you to reflect existing team setups without duplicating configurations. For example, a department group can represent the management team of a cost center, ensuring that changes in responsibility are automatically reflected.
This improvement lays an important foundation for approval flows and cost transparency, especially when multiple stakeholders are involved in decision-making around services, orders, and budgets.
