Business Unit

Select the Business Unit tab.

Business Unit

Enter an alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant.

You can assign a business unit to a document, entity, or person for purposes of responsibility reporting. For example, the system provides reports of open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business unit to track equipment by responsible department.

Business unit security might prevent you from viewing information about business units for which you have no authority.

Revenue Cost Center

Enter a business unit accounting entity that is required for management reporting. It can be a profit center, department, warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch/plant, and so forth.

This business unit is from the business unit that is entered on the header of a sales/purchase order for reporting purposes.

This data is always right justified on entry (for example, CO123 would appear as _______CO123). A security mechanism has been provided to inhibit users from entering or locating business units outside the scope of their authority.
