Information

• Some companies have complex organizational structures. This poses two fundamental questions:
  • Which projects belong to which organizational area (cost center)?
  • Which resources are involved?
• In the Cost Centers module, the cost center/organizational structure is exactly reconstructed.
  • The access rights to projects are defined by this structure.

Create cost centers (organizational units)

• Insert a blank record:
  • If no cost centers are available, click on the Insert button.
  • If some cost centers already exist, activate the required cost center and click on the Insert button or select the Insert Cost center context menu command by right-clicking.
• Enter the name in the Cost center name field and the cost center ID in the Cost center field.
• Fill further data fields.
• Save.

Note

• Unlike cost types or conversion factors, cost centers are not considered in cost calculation. They are only used to receive particular cost analyses and to control project access.
