If your company has defined its cost centers and cost units, you can allocate invoices appropriately. 

Cost centers and cost units can be set up by a Lano administrator in your company. 

The allocation of invoices to cost centers and cost units is possible at any point of time, regardless if an invoice has been approved, released for payment or been paid already. 

You have two options for assigning invoices to cost centers:

1. You can assign the entire invoice to a cost center. 

2. You can split an invoice into several cost centers.

Assign entire invoice to a cost center

To assign the complete invoice to a cost center, first open the invoice and call up the Accounting tab.  

Then select the desired cost center and click on "Save".

Distribute invoice to several cost centers

To distribute an invoice to different cost centers, click the "Assign tasks" checkbox. This function is useful if an invoice contains several items that are to be borne by different cost centers. 

Then select the corresponding cost centers for the individual tasks and click on "Save". 

Divide individual invoice items among several cost centers

If you want to split a certain item of an invoice between different cost centers, click the checkbox "Assign tasks" and then "Split this task". 

Now you can divide the total price for a task between two or more cost centers. Then click on "Save".
