Distribution Rule in SAP Business One

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have created two dimensions as Company & Branch. I don't have any cost distribution.

And created two cost centers for Company and two cost centers for Branch. for example ABC, XYZ and AB & XY.

Is it mandatory to assign the cost center to account in CoA.? If No, can i use the same account for all cost centers and when i generate a report, it display me those transactions which are posted under the specific cost center.?

Can i get the cash flow report based on the cost center. If No, how can i get the alternative solution of cash flow report for the cost center?

How can i get the facility to show the branches of specific company while selecting distribution rule ? because i am getting the all the list of branches including other company's also.

Please reply me.

Hi,

• Is it mandatory to assign the cost center to account in CoA.? No, it is not mandatory
• can i use the same account for all cost centers and when i generate a report, it display me those transactions which are posted under the specific cost center.? Yes, you can. You need to understand that Cost Center is used for P&L account.
• Can i get the cash flow report based on the cost center. If No, how can i get the alternative solution of cash flow report for the cost center? No, you can't. You need to create account for each cost center because Cost Center is used for P&L account.
• How can i get the facility to show the branches of specific company while selecting distribution rule ? You can use FMS to achieve this. Please refer to my answer in this link below :

yes You can make a dimension mandatory.

You use a account and then in columns dimensions, different columns for every dimension

Cash flow report does not have the cost center filter or dimension
