Introduction
A cost center is a financial grouping associated with an equipment item. It may correspond to a geographic area, but its main purpose is to act as a cost management grouping axis.
This article explains how to create a cost center, as well as the limitations regarding editing or deleting it.
Creating a cost center
A cost center is created directly from the input field when adding or modifying an equipment item or a spare part.
- Go to the relevant equipment or spare part, click Edit equipment.
- In the Cost center field, start typing the name of the cost center.
If no existing result matches your entry, the dropdown menu will display the option Create for the cost center you entered.
- Click this option and the new cost center will automatically be created and associated with the equipment or spare part.
If you enter a new location when creating a spare part, a message will inform you that the location will be automatically created once the spare part is validated.
Editing a cost center
- Editing an existing cost center is not possible.
- If a change is required (incorrect name, organizational change), you must contact Mobility Work support.
Deleting a cost center
- Deleting a cost center is not possible through the interface.
- For any deletion or correction request, please contact Mobility Work support so the operation can be performed safely.
Key points
- A cost center is created on the fly when entering an equipment item or spare part.
- Existing cost centers cannot be edited or deleted directly by users.
- If a modification or deletion is required, please contact support.
