What is CAPEX / OPEX?

CAPEX (capital expenditure) funds the creation of durable assets, such as a capitalized project; OPEX (operating expenditure) covers ongoing running costs.

Key points

In IT, team effort on an eligible project may be capitalized (CAPEX), while run and support stay in OPEX. Timesheets document this split.
