On this page, you can create, edit and delete a control structure item, such as a type of costs, cost centre, project or the additional control structures A and B. You can also specify budgets for the control structure item. If you are creating a new control structure item, you can also specify relations that determine whether and how the control structure item can be used by users of the company to which the item is assigned.

Note: This documentation describes the standard system control structures. Control structures may have different names in your system.

You can use this selection list to create a hierarchy for the control structure item. For example, you may create a type od costs Hardware maintenance and then create further types of costs as subdivisions of this type of costs, such as Printer maintenance, PC maintenance and Network maintenance. Select the name of the control structure item to which the current item should belong.

This has no effect on budget creation, that is, no budget values are loaded by default and the budget of superior accounting data is not distributed to subordinate data. Also, the start and end date are totally dependent on the accounting data hierarchy.

Person responsible

Enter the name of the person who should be responsible for this control structure item or search for the name. This user is notified in the lobby or by e-mail if the status of the control structure item is set to Closed or when the end date is reached.

With this setting, the user is also entered as the project person responsible under user/person responsible so he can be used in approval rules. See also Person responsible, overview.

Note: Selecting these options is the only way that a company administrator for a specific company can assign control structure items to that company or to himself.
