When a site customer is purchasing a product on a site that implements cost centers, the customer can be given the option of adding cost centers to an order. The CostCenterDroplet servlet bean can be used to display any cost centers assigned to the user as options for the user to choose. If there are no cost centers assigned to the user, the repository is configured to then search the parent organization for the user and use those cost centers as options. If, again, there are no cost centers, the repository will continue to the parent organization of that organization, and so on.

When a user assigns cost centers to an order, the cost center repository ID is included as part of the order repository item.
