Amount: indicates that theAmountproperty tells how much of the total cost of the item should be attributed to the given cost center.AmountRemaining: indicates that all costs of the item that are not assigned to a different cost center in a separate relationship will be attributed to the cost center in the given relationship.Quantity: indicates that theQuantityproperty tells how many of a given commerce item should be assigned to cost center.QuantityRemaining: indicates that all items of the item that are not assigned to a different cost center in a separate relationship will be attributed to the cost center in the given relationship.
CostCenterShippingGroupRelationship
The CostCenterShippingGroupRelationship is used to tie the cost center to the shipping group, rather than each item within the shipping group. This relationship also allows assignment of shipping charges to cost centers. This class implements both CostCenterRelationship and ShippingGroupRelationship.
The CostCenterShippingGroupRelationship can be of two possible types:
ShippingAmountShippingAmountRemaining
CostCenterOrderRelationship

This class implements both CostCenterRelationship and OrderRelationship. This relationship will also allow assignment of tax and shipping charges to cost centers.
