Cost centres

Updated in 5.20.70

A cost centre is a department, a line or a work centre the company keeps its costs against. It is named on a journal entry line, and the report by cost centre adds its lines up — a centre with every centre under it.

The list

The company's centres show under the centre they belong to, with how many journal lines and work centres name each. Choose the Company when you work in more than one.

A cost centre on a journal line

On New journal entry, once the company has cost centres, each line offers one under its description. A production order's labour and overhead are named by the work centre's own centre (Production cost).

A reversal keeps the centres of the lines it reverses, so a reversed entry leaves nothing on a centre.
A centre is one company's: another company's centre is never offered on its lines. A centre is never deleted, and never put under itself or under a centre of its own.
