How to set up a cost center

A cost center identifies the source of costs. You can assign different translation projects to different cost centers or choose not to assign a project to any cost center.

1. Open Workspace Settings. Navigate to the Cost Center tab.

2. Click New Cost Center.

3. Enter the Client ID.

It will appear in brackets after the cost center name in the Service settings, providing additional context for users setting up a service.

4. Provide a name for the cost center.

This is how it will appear when selecting it on the New Project page.

5. (Optional) Add a description to provide additional details.

This is how it will appear when selecting cost center on the New Project page.

Click (the pencil icon) to enter editing mode.

Switch the Active toggle.

8. Assign the active cost center to a service. Go to the Services tab and open the relevant service for editing.

Locate the Cost Center section and enable the toggle for the required cost center. Save the changes.
