Cost Centers

If your user account includes administrative permissions, use the Cost Centers dialog box to add, delete, and manage a selected user's cost centers. A cost center is an accounting category or "bucket" to which a user can apply the fees associated with a compliance transaction, such as a license application or renewal.

To open the Cost Centers dialog box, click the User Cost Centers View/Edit () button for a selected user account on the Add New User or Edit User pages.

• Name: Displays a list of the names of all cost centers that have been configured for the selected user, both pre-defined and user-specific.
• Default: If one cost center has been configured as the selected user's default cost center, its radio button will be selected. Or, to configure a cost center from the Name list as the default, click to select its radio button. The action is completed when you click the Save button.
• Delete: Click to checkmark the checkbox of one or multiple cost centers to delete them. The action is completed when you click the Save button.
• Add a Cost Center (dropdown menu): From the dropdown menu, select a cost center to add to the selected user's account.
• Add: With a cost center selected from the Add a Cost Center dropdown menu, click to add the cost center to the list in the Name field.
• Add a Cost Center (edit field): Available only if the Restrict Cost Centers option on the Manage Agency Cost Centers page is not selected. Enter the name of a cost center you want to add specifically for the selected user's use. Maximum 20 characters.
• Add: Available only if the Restrict Cost Centers option on the Manage Agency Cost Centers page is not selected. With a cost center entered in the Add a Cost Center edit field, click to add the cost center to the list in the Name field.
• Save: Click to apply all changes to the selected user's account.
• Cancel: Click to abort the operation and close the dialog box.

Cost centers appearing in the Add a Cost Center dropdown menu are pre-defined on the Manage Agency Cost Centers page.

If the Restrict Cost Centers option is selected on the Manage Agency Cost Centers page, the Add a Cost Center edit field is not available, and it is not possible to add a user-specific cost center.
