Defining accounting information for a company

Defining accounting control structures, such as cost centres and projects, facilitates the economic allocation of the expenses incurred through orders. In conjunction with budgets and approval rules, control structures can also be used to monitor, control and restrict expenditure. For example, you can specify which companies and users are permitted to order goods for a specific cost type, whether the ordering of specific products is linked to specific control structures via a basic contract, and whether requests for goods for a specific project must be approved.

Control structures can be assigned to companies, users and basic contracts. Users can then select or enter the control structure items to which orders should be allocated in their baskets. See Defining accounting control structures  for more information.

1. In the company profile, click the Accounting tab. Select the menu item Help to display detailed information about this tab.
2. In the appropriate section for the control structure that you want to define (for example, Cost centre), select the settings that you want to use and assign the appropriate control structures. See Assignment lists for more information on assigning items. Select the menu item Help to display detailed information about the settings.
3. Click Save.
