Bus/Financial - Computers: Systems, Networks / Product information management
German term or phrase: Differenz- und Kostensätzen
The following comes up in a Swiss German text on product information management for the food industry:

Kostenkalkulationen einschließlich Differenz- und Kostensätzen

I am assuming that Sätzen here would be 'rates' rather than 'sets' (as in data sets).

There is no more context.

differential and cost rates
Explanation:
Cost rate refers to how much an employee costs the company. For example, Zack charges $100 per hour, and his cost rate is $25. That means it costs the company $25 for each hour he bills. Cost rates determine the profitability of your staffers and jobs, or projects.
