A Cost Centre is a company division or department relating to your business products/services. You can define Cost Centres here and link each one to the relevant Dimension (Cost Centre level). Once a Cost Centre is assigned to a Sales or Purchase Transaction you will be able to apply a filter to your Profit and Loss report to see costs incurred on your GL accounts.

A Dimension is a Cost Centre level. Dimensions allow you to create up to 5 levels of analysing your expense and Revenue transactions.
