Who Can Change the Cost Center Requirement Settings?

The account owner and employees with the Edit General Settings permission can change the Require Cost Centers on Manual Journals option and select the required accounts. This option doesn’t have its own permission; it’s part of the General Accounting Settings page, which requires this permission.

For an employee without the permission:

• The General Accounting Settings card doesn’t appear on the Accounting Settings page.
• They must still distribute the selected accounts to cost centers when creating or editing manual journals, but they can’t change the setting itself.

To give an employee the permission, add Edit General Settings to their role from Manage Employee Roles.
