Adding a cost centre

Cost Centres are added in the Settings module, in the Financials section. Navigate to the Cost Centres settings option. This will bring up the list of all Cost Centres. To add a new Cost Centre choose Add.

The current default Cost Centre is noted. In this case the default Cost Centre is named CHRISTCHURCH:

To deactivate a Cost Centre, navigate to the Cost Centres setting. Open the spill menu at the end of the line and choose Deactivate.

Once a Cost Centre has been deactivated, an Inactive badge is displayed on that Cost Centre line:
