Set Cost Centers

Set Cost Centers

The Cost Centers register allows for a simple pooling of  items, incomes, outcomes, costs, received and issued invoices, orders of customers and suppliers, salaries and travel expenses, according to the data about the ID of the cost center in certain mentioned documents and their lines. This way you can create analysis of success of a certain sales item, item of own production or a project, depending on what content intention you have ascribed to cost centers. Such content definition of the cost center depends on the activity your company is conducting.

We can set required fields that represent a mandatory entry when adding a new cost center in cost center register. This can be done in Administration panel / Settings / Program parameters / Financial / General.

The following can be found in the header of the register and its taskbar:

See Taskbar for a general description of its functions.

Navigation buttons	They allow for deleting of the records, adding the records, browsing and searching through data (see Navigation Buttons).  Search - by clicking the icon, a special search table opens by using which you may sort or filter the existing records in the database by four criteria: cost center ID, name, consignee and status. By clicking the icon you can delete the code.  Of course the program will check before deleting, if any other document is bound do that record (cost center) and in that case prevent it from being deleted and report an error. By clicking the icon you add a new record into the Cost Centers register (create a new ID of the cost center).
Report	It displays the overview or the calculation of data by cost centers (see Report (Analysis))
Cost Center	Enter the ID of the cost center. It can be same as the item ID (company manufacturing), name or id of the contract (project business), or same as some optional alpha-numeric denotation. This data is MANDATORY. By changing ID of the cost center the program displays a warning: The primary key in the register has been changed! Do you really want to continue?
Status	By double-clicking this field, the Cost Centers Status register opens. The active statuses can be selected from the selection tables containing orders, invoices, postings, etc. If the status is not entered, the program will respond with an error note (see Status must be defined!).
Group	By double clicking this field, the register of groups of cost centers opens. It is not mandatory to enter data, but it allows for grouping of cost centers into logical sections.
Name	Enter an optional name of the cost center. It is not mandatory to enter this data.
Customer	It is not mandatory to enter this data. If it is about the manufacturing on demand, select the customer here from the Subjects register.

In the sub-panels of the Cost Centers register, all the documents and the lines which have received data entries about which cost center they are ascribed to, are included.
