The cost centre allocation option allows you to allocate expenses and incomes to the relevant cost centres, enabling you to analyze the profit or loss of each cost centre. You can perform cost centre allocation by accessing the option in the accounts module. Alternatively, if you have enabled the 'Allow Automatic Cost Centre Popup' setting in the preference settings, you can allocate it while saving the transaction.
