Cost center
Cost centers allow you to evaluate your company's expenses in an even more differentiated way. Cost centers offer another level to the general chart of accounts of your accounting. Track different locations, production chains or e.g. expenses of various teams with their own cost centers.
A possible cost center plan could look like this.
2. Assign cost centers
Cost centers can be entered e.g. individually for each entry, or for each position on an invoice. However, we do not recommend this approach - unless you want to dramatically increase your accounting effort :-).
To make the cash flow as automatic as possible, it is recommended to assign the cost centers directly to the expense accounts. Everything that is then posted to an expense account is also posted immediately at the cost center level.
3. Define cost centers for accounts
Via Accounts/Edit/Assign the desired cost centers in the tab Cost centers. It is possible to select several different cost centers with different shares. Shares are entered either in percent (40%/60%) or in parts (4/6). CashCtrl then automatically calculates the percentages. If only one cost center is booked, it is sufficient to enter 1 for a share or 100 for 100%.
In the chart of accounts, the cost centers used are listed in a separate column.
How are the cost centers evaluated?
In the reports section there are five reports available to evaluate cost centers.
1. Income statement of each cost center
2. Balances of all or individual cost centers
3. Distribution: lists the distribution to the accounts
4. Targets: Compares budgets/targets to balances.
5. Statements: Shows the journals of individual cost centers
How is a cost center report compiled?
Like all other report elements, cost center reports are grouped into sets or displayed individually. The reports can then be exported as PDF, Excel (PRO) and CSV (PRO) files for further processing if required.
