About Cost Centers
All agreements can be linked to one or more cost centers (in a lease module you can split an agreement between many cost centers). Cost center field is not mandatory, so you don’t need to have any cost centers in the system. If you are using the accounting module and need to have cost centers in your P&L postings, create all cost centers that you need for your financial item postings into ZenTreasury.
If you are not using the accounting module, or for some other reason do not need the cost center info as is, you are at liberty to use the cost center for any other additional reporting categorization item.
Cost center register
In the Cost Center register section, you will have a summary view of all of all your Cost centers. New Cost Centers can be created from “Add new”-tab, import from excel, or if you have existing companies in the Cost Center, simply copy them and just change the data.
Cost Centers fields:
Cost center short name
This is the cost center name that comes to all agreement forms. So, it is recommended to keep this as short as possible. This is also the info associated with the accounting template if you are using accounting.
Description
Here you describe the cost center in more detail.
The remaining fields are for information purposes only. If needed, they can be filled as well.
Cost Centers import from Excel
First, you have to click on the Import tab. Then, from ‘Download sample’, you can get the import excel template that you can use for the import. You can bring 50 cost centers at once. Once you have filled in all your cost centers and saved the file into your computer, you must check to make sure your file is readable, and then click import.
