It means recording additional details while passing expense entries like Department and Location

 

It is normally done for Expense Entries like

Expense Dr

     To Party

and

Expense Dr

    To Bank

 

However,it is not done in entries like

Expense Dr

         To Bank

as there is no expense account

 

 

Example

Suppose we have received Telephone Bill for Noida Office of Rs 2500 from Airtel.Amount paid by cheque

We normally pass the entries

Telephone Exp Dr

    To Airtel

 

Airtel Dr

   To Bank

 

In this case,Cost Center is Noida which we can put only in first entry and not second like following

Telephone Exp Dr        2500

           Noida    2000 -------------------->This is a cost center

                       To Airtel             2500

 

Airtel Dr                    2500

   To Bank                            2500

 

However,if we do directly

Telephone Exp

             To Bank

We can put cost center as follows

 

Telephone Exp Dr        2500

            Noida    2000- ------------------->This is a cost center

                       To Bank            2500
