This section will display a list of all cost centers already created in the system.

### Create or Review Cost Centers

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.

### Set the Default

* Go back to **Sale Voucher Configuration**.
* Select your preferred **Default Cost Center** from the list.
