How does Cost Centre work?

Cost centres is a feature in Roubler that allows you to associate a cost with shifts so you can get a view of projected vs. actual costs for a specific area of the business, or a specific event.

How do I enable this feature?

To enable cost centres, go to Management > Settings > Company Settings.

Under Features, select "Enable cost centres", then select "Save".

How do I create a cost centre?

1. Go to Management > Settings > Cost Centres
2. Click the + button
3. Enter the name and sales to associate with the new cost centre
   Note: The currency is already localised to your country
   
   
   
4. Select "Save"
5. Your cost centre will now display as a list with the following fields:
   • Name: Name of the cost centre for your reference
   • Shifts: The number of shifts associated with this cost centre
