YouTube: How to Configure Default Cost Center for Sale Bill?
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to set default cost centers, a powerful feature that helps automatically assign cost centers during billing to streamline financial tracking.
Open the Sales Voucher Configuration window.
Select the relevant billing series.
Under "Other Settings - 1", click on "Other Settings".
Then navigate to "Defaults - 1".
Locate the option labeled as:
"Default Cost Centers"
This section will display a list of all cost centers already created in the system.
Before selecting the default, let’s check how and where cost centers are created:
Navigate to Setup Accounts → Cost Centers.
Here, you will see various Cost Centers and their respective Cost Elements already defined.
If needed, create a new Cost Center, define a Cost Element, and allocate it under the new Cost Center.
Go back to Sale Voucher Configuration.
Select your preferred Default Cost Center from the list.
Now, go to the Column Locks section.
Ensure the Cost Center field is unlocked, so it’s visible and editable during billing.
Save the configuration.
Open the billing screen and initiate a transaction.
As shown, the Cost Center field is now visible and is automatically populated with the default cost center selected earlier.
Setting a default cost center:
Ensures consistency in transaction tagging.
Saves time during billing.
Enhances accuracy in financial reports.
