Responsibility Center Table

You can use the Responsibility Center table to record
information about your responsibility center.

A responsibility center can be a cost center, a profit center or
an investment center. Examples of responsibility centers are a
sales office, a purchasing department for several locations, and a
plant planning office.

In Navision, you set up responsibility centers to help
administer your business. For example, a responsibility center can
administer sales and purchases for one or more warehouses or
distribution centers, where goods are handled and stored prior to
use.

Each responsibility center has a name (for example, the address
of the regional office) as well as a code representing the name.
You assign a code to a responsibility center. This code can be used
in the responsibility center code fields elsewhere in the
program.

For example, when you enter a responsibility center code on
purchase and sales documents it affects the address, dimensions,
and prices on the documents. Entering a responsibility center code
on a Location card will mean that the location (for example, a
warehouse or distribution center) is administered by the
responsibility center represented by that code.
