Additional Information

You can only assign one employee cost center, if employees have multiple Positions, we recommend using Position Cost Center.

• Employee  Cost Center: is when you assign the cost center to the employee assigned to an employee in their employee profile.  Employees can only have one Cost Center, even if they hold multiple positions. 
  
  
• Position Cost Center: is when you assign the Cost Center to a Position from the Employee Positions page.

We recommend sorting Journal Entries by Position Cost Centers.

If you notice that the Journal Entry Report states Unknown Cost Centers. You will need to make the necessary updates in the Employee Profile(s) or Positions have an assigned Cost Center.

Once completed, you will need to re-run the distributions to update the Journal Entry Report and this will update the Cost Center Summary Report. 

Please note, that only Super Administrators and Team Administrators with permissions have access to assign Cost Centers.
