Add Cost Centers

Modified on Tue, 5 Apr, 2022 at 12:20 PM

A cost center is a department, function, or role within an organization that does not directly add to profit but still generates costs for the organization. Cost centers only contribute to a company's profitability indirectly. They are often administrative, service, and support roles. The main use of a cost center is to track actual expenses for comparison to the budget.




Create Cost Centers


You can create cost centers within Kenjo. 

  • Go to Settings > Cost centers
  • Click the (+) button to create a new cost center
  • Enter a Cost center ID and a Cost center name
  • Click on "ADD COST CENTER"



You can create as many cost centers as necessary.




Assign cost centers to employees


  • Navigate to the Employee’s Profile > Personal > Work (section)
  • At the bottom of the work section, click on "ADD COST CENTER"
  • Enter the specific cost center and the quantity


In the following example, the employee works full time in customer service – hence the quantity will be 100%:



It is also possible that employees represent multiple cost centers. In this case, the employee works 50% in customer service and 50% in marketing, generating two different cost centers.
