Cost center on an expense

Last updated on Oct 15, 2026

Every expense is charged to a cost center, just like an order. Usually it is filled in for you.

Where to find it

Expenses → Add expense → the Cost center field. On an existing expense, the same field in its details.

How it works

  • When you add an expense, the Cost center field is filled in with your default cost center.
  • If this expense belongs to another cost center, for example a client project, pick it from the list.
  • Like orders, an expense keeps the cost center it was filed with, even if your department or default cost center changes later.

FAQ

Can I charge one expense to a different cost center than my usual one? Yes. When you add the expense, pick another cost center in the Cost center field.

My department changed. Will my old expenses move to the new cost center? No. Each expense keeps the cost center it was filed with. Only new expenses use your new default.
