So that the calculation of the production costs is based on the respective machine configuration (variant), a separate cost center is needed for each individual variant. These cost centers are defined here and are then allocated to the device when the device itself is being defined. Please note that you need to synchronize these cost centers with the connected Management Information System.
1.Go to "Administration > Device configuration > Cost centers".
2.Click "Create".
3.Enter the cost center designation in the "Designation" field.
You should enter the same designation that you defined in your Management Information System (MIS) in this box.
4.Enter the job costing cost center number you defined in your Management Information System (MIS) in the "Cost center no." input field.
Note: Standard designation: You need not/cannot edit this text box.
Use standard designation: If you enable this option, the cost center will not be assigned the designation that you entered, but rather an internal designation. This setting is possible only with default cost centers.
5.Assign one or more of the predefined device classes to this cost center. The cost center can then only be selected for devices of this device class.
To do so, highlight the device class in the "Available device classes" section and then click on the right arrow. The device class has been assigned to the cost center and can now be found in the "Assigned device classes" section.
6.Click "Apply".
The entries are applied. The dialog box remains open.
7.Click "OK".
The dialog closes and the new cost center appears in the list.
You can edit an existing cost center. This can become necessary, for example, if you have changed the cost center in your Management Information System.
1.Mark the cost center you wish to edit in the list.
2.Click "Edit".
3.Enter a new designation and/or a new cost center number.
4.Click "OK".
The changes are applied and the dialog closes.
You can delete defined cost centers that you no longer need.

2.Click "Delete".
An alert message displays.
3.Click "OK".
The cost center is deleted.
