Introduction

Cost centers play a vital role in budgeting, tracking expenditures, and allocating resources within an organization.

In uKnowva HRMS, managing cost centers is straightforward and highly configurable, ensuring that your company’s financial and departmental tracking remains up to date.

As your organization grows or restructures, you may need to introduce new cost centers to reflect changing business units, projects, or operational segments.

Adding a new cost center in uKnowva ensures that every department or unit is accurately accounted for in internal reporting.

Clicking this button will open a pop-up window where you can input the necessary details.

In the pop-up, you must enter the Center Name, which uniquely identifies the new cost center.

Additionally, you will see a toggle switch to set the Published status. Toggle this to Yes if the cost center should be immediately visible and active, or to No if you wish to keep it inactive for now.

Step 3: Save the New Cost Center

After entering the required information, click on the Save button to successfully create and store the new cost center in the system.

If you change your mind or need to exit without saving, you can click on the Cancel button to abort the action without making any changes.
