You can set up responsibility centres to help administer your business.

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

A responsibility centre can, for example, administer sales and purchases for one or more warehouses or distribution centres where goods are handled and stored prior to use.
