Generating controlled cost lines helps you to control the allocation lines that are
required for your business needs.

If you're a new customer, by default, the allocation engine automatically generates the
controlled cost lines.  
If you're upgrading from a previous version to the Australia release, the following changes are made to the Controlled Cost Lines and GL Expense Lines options:

* When you clone a cost model, the Generate Controlled Cost Lines option is enabled in the new model and the Generate GL Expense Lines option is inactivated in the new model irrespective of whether the options were inactivated or enabled in the base model. These options aren't editable and don't appear on the default view of the Cost Model View page.
* When you create a cost model, the default values are set. The default value for the Generate Controlled Cost Lines option is true and the default value for the Generate GL Expense Lines option is false. These options aren't editable and don't appear on the default view of the Cost Model View page.
* For existing cost models, the existing values remain the same. If the Generate Controlled Cost Lines option is inactivated, it remains inactive. If the Generate GL Expense Lines option is enabled, it remains enabled. You can change the values for these options to default values.

To view the sub-bucket information and view reports on the relationship between the two segments, do the following:

* If you require the sub-bucket information of the generated lines, select the Include sub-Bucket Info option on the Cost Model View page.

  The
  generated controlled cost lines are sufficient to plot single-dimension charts with the
  buckets.
* [Define a breakdown
  relationship](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1DceYCoDXpOZZiaCG_Hc3g "Define a breakdown relationship between required segments to view cost lines generated between the segments.") explicitly to view reports on the relationship between the two segments.

  The engine then generates the additional breakdown allocation lines in the
  Cost Allocation Breakdown Aggregate \[itfm_allocation_breakdown\] table, which help to
  plot a two-dimension chart between segments. For example, IT Shared Service contribution
  to Business Unit.
