In Tally.ERP 9, the cost centre could refer to an organizational unit to which costs or expenses can be allocated during transactions while the cost category is used to accumulate costs or profits for parallel sets of cost centres.
Major categories of cost centre
There are two main types of cost centres
- Cost centres related to production – where the products are manufactured or processed. Example of this is an assembly area.
- Cost centres related to provision of services – where services are provided to other cost centres. A simplest example for our understanding could be personnel department or the canteen.
Cost Centers can be allocated in the vouchers. Activate Cost Centre for the Ledger Accounts that are used in voucher entry.
