Cost Centers are configured in Organizational Structure | Cost Centers and Rollups. Cost centers allow you to model your organization's structure within Projector in a multi-level hierarchy. Generally business units, departments, practices, classes or cost centers can be modeled as cost centers. Engagements belong to a single cost center and resources can move from one cost center to another over their lifetime within the organization. Projector utilizes cost centers to define permissions (i.e., what users can do which activities for what parts of the organization), analytical reporting structures (e.g., what was the profitability of the Eastern Region compared to the Western Region), and accounting mappings (e.g., where accounts receivables generated by Eastern Region projects should get routed). |
Where do I change the Cost Center?
...
If you run most reports (like the Ginsu report), they will show the engagement's cost center as the new cost center. However, any accounting transactions that are in existing GL batches will show in the old cost center up until the point that you moved the engagement and the new cost center afterwards.
Why can't I change the Cost Center to some values?
Changes to engagement cost center are limited to those for which the engagement's cost center's company would be unchanged. If a cost center change causes the engagement's company to change, we won't let you do it. More details here.
