Cost Centers (v10.xx)
In Cerri Project user have the flexibility to set rates by linking resources to cost centers rather than just basing them on resource type.
Cost centers are defined in the General setup document of the [Resources] module. They can then be selected in the "Rates" section of each Resource document.
Once cost centers are defined within the "Resource" documents and the resources are published across all destination modules (refer to Resources Administration), these cost centers become available within the [Timesheets] module:
- Timesheets
- Timesheet details
- Expense report
- Expense details
In the [Projects] module, cost centers are automatically available and used in calculations for:
- Timesheet details
- Assignments
It is also possible to select a cost center in Cost documents in the [Projects] module, except for those created from the "Expense sheet", where the "Cost center" field is computed based on the "Expense detail" document.
Cost centers can also be used to categorize budget lines in detailed Budgets.
There are no standard views showing information categorized by cost center, but custom views can easily be developed to accommodate this. Refer to Customize Cerri Project for more information.
