A object represents a segment of your organisation to which specific rates apply. The Cost Centre can contain other organisation units, such as sites or groups or, it can be part of a larger group or division.
Divisions, Cost Centres, Group and Sites are very similar and can be used interchangeably to better reflect the internal structure of your company. |
