Excursus: Entering and using cost units
In a company, cost centers are indispensable to determine where costs have been incurred. You can create this overview with the help of Accounto.
To create cost units, first click on ⨠settings and then on ⨠tags.
Now create a new ⨠+ tag category and name it (e.g. after an operating area of your company).
Within a tag category you can now create cost centers by clicking ⨠+ tag and name them as desired.
You also have the possibility to ⨠edit or ⨠delete existing tag categories and tags by clicking on the corresponding buttons.
Once your cost centers have been created, you can use them by assigning them to an account in the chart of accounts as a cost unit (see step 7 in the above explanations on entering and editing the accounting charts).
