To view the group dependencies for a cost centre

The procedure to view the group dependencies for a cost centre is as follows:

Navigate to Quick Menu > Service Charges > Configuration > Cost Centres. The Service Charge Cost Centre window is displayed.
Select a cost centre from the alphabetical list or type its name into the Search Cost Centres field. By default the list is filtered to show Current cost centres. An alternative filter can be applied using the Select view drop-down field: Expired, Future or All combinations 1.
Click on Dependents. The Dependents tab is activated, revealing the Service Charge Groups summary table, containing a list of all service charge groups that include one or more of the cost centre elements 1. Certain fields are worthy of special note and are captured in the table below 2.
Click on Close.

Tip

1 By default, all dependent service charge groups are displayed in alphabetical order; to aid in identification and analysis, rows can be reordered by clicking on any of the available headings.

Note

1 The Search Cost Centres field will match against any component of the cost centre description.

2 A subset of fields are visible by default; additional fields can be revealed or hidden via the Menu option.
