Keeping track of line cost: Is there a way?

Hi all. Ok, currently we're keeping track of our line costs using a plain 'ol spreadsheet. Now, is there a way to tag on a cost to an individual line (ie T1 circuit on a router) using NPM? I can place the a for that line under interface details but is there any other way to do it? Does anyone use NPM for this function?

Have you considered using the Custom Properties feature for interfaces?
Just add a "Cost" add the cost to that field ,per interface, then add it to Interface Detail view, build some reports and off you go...

John,

I agree, we do the same things and add in items like SLA time,supplier, circuit reference, account manager, support number etc or any other details for any of the support staff who need to query service with any telco providers.

Thanks guys, actually found the answer right after I posted this question. Looks like we can add pretty much anything we want to a node or interface using the custom properties editor.
