Cost Center/ WBS Elements

Hello,
there is a possibility to set up mother cost centers.
That is e.g.
5400 Mother
--- 54001 Subsidiary cost center
--- 54202 daughter cost center
etc.
and to manage the budget at the mother level. By this I mean that, for example, a budget of 10,000 € is defined for the mother, and the daughters divide it however they want, and the budget check only sounds an alarm when both daughters total exceeds it.
Thank you.

    Hello,
    Cost centers cannot be assigned a budget (in the standard system), but a budget. However, the crucial thing is that (unlike internal orders, for example) you cannot monitor this, so the system does not react with warnings/errors when the budget is exhausted.
    What you can use in reporting, and probably comes closest to your idea of mother cost centers, is to use representative cost centers.
    Greetings Maik

    Hello,
    In addition, there are no postable nodes in the cost center hierarchy. There are cost centers, to which you can plan and post, and cost center groups, which only serve to group cost centers. However, you can neither plan nor post to the groups.
    You have already mentioned the keyword "WBS elements" in the heading - this is possible there. In a project structure you have postable nodes and also budget planning and monitoring.
    Many greetings,
    Martin
