Tracking Performance with Cost Centers

Cost centers add a managerial dimension to entries without changing the financial account.

Design the tree

Create centers for departments and projects and link child centers to their parents.

  • Tree level is calculated automatically.
  • The center code is unique within the company.

Assign movements

Assign a cost center to the journal line you want to analyze, or leave it empty when unnecessary.

  • New movements accept active centers only.
  • One transaction can be split across centers using separate lines.

Reporting and protection

Analyze center activity for a period, with child centers rolled into parent results.

  • A center used in entries cannot be deleted.
  • Children must be removed before deleting a parent center.
