The Construction module integrates with the Accounting automatically in two ways: by activating Cost Center Assignment for purchase invoices and requisitions as soon as the app is enabled, and by creating a complete Cost Center tree for each contract as soon as it is activated. This article explains how this integration works.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Verify that Cost Center Assignment Is Automatically Activated<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the Construction app is activated, Item Level Cost Center Assignment by Transaction Type<\/strong>\u00a0is automatically enabled for purchase invoices and requisitions. You can verify this setting yourself: from the main menu, click Accounting<\/strong>, then Accounting Settings<\/strong>, and open the Cost Center Distribution Rules<\/strong> section under the General Accounting Settings<\/strong> card. You will find the Item Level Cost Center Assignment by Transaction Type<\/strong>\u00a0option already enabled for purchase invoices and requisitions without any manual intervention.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Open Cost Centers and Check the Generated Tree<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the main menu, click Accounting<\/strong>, then Cost Centers<\/strong>. You will find a new tree automatically created based on the contract’s item tree (main tenders, sub tenders, and work items). The structure of this tree depends on the Cost Tracking Level<\/strong> defined for the project:<\/p>\n
