To create cost centers in Accounting, you must first perform a set of configurations in the Administrator so that, when posting entries in Accounting, the reflection for the cost centers is displayed. Once these configurations have been made, you can create the cost centers.
To create cost centers, follow these steps:
Step 1: Configure the Administrator
Select the desired company;
Go to Accounting | Company Parameters;
Select the Postings option and, in the Allocations area, select Cost Centers;
On the Reflections tab, enable the Cost Centers option in the "Force Reflection" column;
In Controlling | Activate Features, select the Cost Centers Handling checkbox;
Go to Accounting | Parameters of the Fiscal Year | General;
Enable the Cost Centers feature.
Step 2: Create cost centers
Go to the ERP and select the company where the postings will be made;
Go to Finance | General | Resources | Tables | Accounting | Cost Centers;
Create a cost center;
Note: A cost center follows the same structure as accounting accounts; that is, there must be both integrating and posting centers. If these centers have postings at 100%, they must be associated with the accounting accounts. Cost centers can be created using the following characters: period (.), underscore (_), and hyphen (-);Go to Finance | Financial Control | Resources | Tables | Distribution Keys | Cost Centers;
Create the Distribution Keys, adding the Cost Centers;
Set the assigned percentage;
Go to Finance | Accounting | Chart of Accounts | Reflections;
Associate the cost centers and distribution keys with the Accounting accounts.
You can make a 100% posting using just one Cost Center, or through a Distribution Key with several Centers.
