Norskpro

indirect costs
"Indirect costs are costs used by multiple activities, and which cannot therefore be assigned to specific products, services, geographical regions, customers, or other cost objects. Instead, indirect costs are needed to operate the business as a whole."

"Indirekte kostnader kan ikke tilbakeføres til bestemte produkter. Dette er f.eks. faste kostander som f.eks. kalkulatoriske kostnader, renter, husleie, indirekte tilvirkningskostnader o.l. Med andre ord «felleskostnader» for den samlede produksjonen i perioden. Indirekte kostnader må derfor fordeles på de enkelte ordrene og produktene/tjenestene."

For a more specific term "Distributed costs" may be more appropriate.
"Cost that cannot be attributed to a specific task and is, therefore, distributed across several tasks or functions. Also called distributable cost."
