Use this screen to set up user-defined and company-specific cost centers. This screen includes protection that prevents cost center codes from being deleted when they are being used by certain Spectrum tables. If you attempt to delete a code that is in use, an error message will display indicating the first table in which the cost center code was found.

Cost centers provide a means of sharing data across Spectrum companies, without sacrificing the security and validation features that are inherent when using multiple Spectrum companies. For example, all information could be stored in one company, while allowing vendor and customer information to be shared across companies. While each data entry transaction would still belong to a specific cost center, it would be viewable across selected cost centers, depending on the operator's cost center security setup in the Operator Maintenance screen.
