This is a PRO feature (not available in the free version).

Besides expense accounts you can review your costs under other aspects. With cost centers you can automate a part of your cost accounting, namely the allocation of book entry amounts or invoice item amounts to cost centers and cost units.

Here you manage your cost centers and/or cost units, cost types etc. However, we only use the term cost center.

The cost centers that have been created here can then be configured in expense/revenue accounts or article categories. Book entries and orders then effectively book amounts on the cost centers. Finally, you have many cost center reports under Reports at your disposal: Profit & loss statement by cost centers, balances, statements, allocation and targets.
