Description for Cost Centers and Processes

Updated July 28, 2022

Applies to  : All Cost Centers and Processes

Cost Centers

Enter a Description for the Cost Center. The description entered will be visible in the Estimating and Order Entry modules and it will populate the Scheduling module cost center list. It will also print on various reports in the system.

 

 

Processes

Enter a Description that will be understood by an estimator and those employees that will use the Job Ticket or Data Collection to produce the job. In some cases, the user may want to consider entering the size associated with the process in the description field even though this screen includes separate width and length fields. The reason is that the description field will be printed on the standard shop job ticket that the user may find useful.

 

 

As an example, "Xerox Proof 12x18" might be a process description denoting that the prepress operator create a proof on a 12x18 sheet regardless of the actual finished size of the job. This will also allow the user to enter several processes for same Cost Center, each differentiated from the other by size.
