Cost centers usually represent departments
or divisions where the staff reside based on the skills they specialize in.
Expenses incurred for a department should be allocated to the corresponding
cost center. In order to check for a specific modification made to the cost
center(s), you can generate an
overview of the cost center. You can also verify the summary for a particular
cost center or the general ledger account from the listed overview.
