Cost Center Permissions

An expense document is assigned a cost center at the time of creation. We assign a cost center at creation time for two reasons. First, because an expense document only has one disbursing currency, based on its cost center. To keep the currency consistent throughout the life cycle of the document, we must assign the cost center early. Secondly, it also allows us to maintain sane permissions for the lifecycle of the expense document. If it were to change cost centers down the road, then the entire approval process could change with it. If you need to change an expense document's cost center, you will need to make a new one.
