Sebastian de GoeijShort answer
A cost centre is where costs arise, such as a department. A cost unit is the product, service or order costs are attributed to. A project bundles costs and income of an engagement. Autoboeker proposes cost centre, cost unit and optional project on every invoice from history, and supports allocation across GL accounts or by percentage.
Key takeaways
- Cost centre = where; cost unit = what for.
- Projects bundle costs and income per engagement.
- Consistency is the hard part; history and rules help.
- Allocation across accounts and by percentage is supported.
