Journal Registration with user-defined cost centres



With Journals in the Journal Entry you have the possibility to post your own specially adapted cost centre in addition to the standard cost centres Department and Project. However, this is only possible if you have Mamut Enterprise E5 or additional products for extra cost centres.

How to register journal entries with user-defined cost centres

  1. Firstly, define your own cost centres under Cost centres, which you will find by selecting View - Settings - Accounting - Module Settings.

  2. After this, activate the column for Cost centres group within the user settings in the journal entry, so that the column shows in the journal registration window.

  3. Post the journal in the normal manner but in addition choose user-defined cost centres in the actual journal line.

The journal entry has now been registered with the user-defined cost centre and can be transferred to the nominal ledger.

Tip! Extra cost centres are only accessible when registering a journal entry in the journal entry module. Journal entries registered via other modules will not automatically be linked to these user-defined cost centres. They will instead be linked to the standard cost centres Project and Department. You can change the cost centre of a journal entry in the Ledger and Financials/Journal list by selecting the journal entry and clicking Edit.
