If the cost center feature is enabled in the Enterprise Installation screen, the Cost center field will be available beneath the Debit field. An active Cost Center valid for this company must be entered in this field. The Cost Center defined in the heading portion of the Journal Entry screen defaults for non-direct G/L accounts. For direct G/L accounts the field will remain blank until the distribution fields are specified.

If you change the work order in this window, the software will automatically adjust the Cost center assigned to the journal entry line based on the Cost center in the Work Order Header table. Entry of a new work order is disallowed if you do not have permission for the new Cost center. The Cost center field will be display-only for 'Direct work order cost' entries.
