## 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.
***
### **Access Sales Voucher Configuration**
* 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.
***
### 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.
If needed, create a new **Cost Center**, define a **Cost Element**, and allocate it under the new Cost Center.
***
### Set the Default
* Go back to **Sale Voucher Configuration**.
* Select your preferred **Default Cost Center** from the list.
***
### Unlock Cost Center Field
* 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.
***
### Final Step: Billing in Action
* 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.
***
### Summary
Setting a default cost center:
* Ensures consistency in transaction tagging.
* Saves time during billing.
* Enhances accuracy in financial reports.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://kb.logicerp.com/logic-erp-learning-hub-tutorials-and-best-practices/setups/configurations/sale-voucher-configuration/other-settings-1/other-settings/defaults-1/default-cost-centre.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
