How do I use cost centers and cost types?
We use different cost centers and cost types to meet the financial requirements for debit and credit.
When you make purchases for the stockroom, the transaction is posted to the cost center specified for the stockroom and to the items cost account. In this case, the stockroom’s cost center is used as a credit account (– account), and the items cost account is the debit account (+ account).
When you make withdrawals, the items cost account is used as the credit, and the object's cost center is used as the debit.
The site object has a cost center, while the person is considered a source of income. That is, the person performing the work will receive income from the site object, and this is recorded in the income center column.
A cost center can, for example, be a department (Production, Sales, Development).
The cost type/account is an additional grouping that explains what the items are (e.g., Consumables, Workwear, etc.).
