<h2>What is a Cost Centre?</h2>

<p>If your organisation has cost centres, select this organisational unit and place it in the Directory in a position that replicates your actual organisational structure. For example, if you classify <i>Admin</i> as a Cost Centre, simply create a <span class="reference">Cost Centre</span> called "Admin" and place all divisions, groups, department and extensions underneath.</p>

Divisions, Cost Centres, Group and Sites are very similar and almost interchangeable. Simply use the icons best suited to reflect your actual organisational structure.

<h2>Adding a Cost Centre</h2>

<p>To add a Cost Centre to the Directory, simply select <span class="button">Cost Centre</span> form the <span class="reference">Organisation unit</span> list and give it a name that represents its function e.g. "IT" as shown below. Then click <span class="button">Add</span> to put it in to your Directory.</p>

<p>There are no limits to the amount of Cost Centres you can add. As there is no limit to the depth of the hierarchy within TIM Enterprise, you may add Cost Centres within Cost Centres. You simply select Cost Centre, give it a name and add it.</p>

<p>Your Cost Centre will appear in the Directory as follows:</p>
