Cost tracking can be done on both paid and unpaid charges. It is applied per charge point or on a Charging Site level. For paid charges, you can compare the revenue from the charge session to the cost to calculate your profit margin.
Cost tracking will not create an actual transaction in your Wallet. The cost calculation can be seen in charge session exports and in the detailed charge screen.
