This query was raised during a recent webinar:


What happens if you don't have cost centres within your coding structure, can you still use formulas that require this element (e.g. cost centre)?

Some of the Excel Add-in formulas require specific attributes, such as cost centre, because they are designed to analyse data at that level.

If your coding structure does not use cost centres, you can use the IP.GLBaseAmount formula instead. This formula only requires legal entity, period and account as mandatory arguments. Posting attributes (such as cost centre, department, or custom attributes) are optional, so you can enter values for any attributes you do use, or omit them entirely if you have none.
