The Group break-up of cost centre gives you another view of a cost centre report by enabling you to analyse the distribution of a group (of ledger accounts) across different cost centres.
If you want to know how Indirect Expenses were incurred by different cost centres, this is the report that you need to look at.
| 1. | Go to Gateway of Tally > Display > Statements of Accounts > Cost Centers > Group Break -up |
| 2. | Select a group account, say for e.g. Indirect Expenses |
The following screen displays.
The total Indirect Expenses allocated to different Cost Centres under the Primary cost category is given. If you have more than one category it will also be listed.
Use the buttons on the button bar to view the report in alphabetic order of group accounts.
The columnar Cost-Break up of group accounts allows you to compare how different cost centres make use of two or more group accounts (e.g. expense accounts).
Use New Column to bring up another group of ledger account, say, Sales. The report will give you how much each executive sold and how much was spent on running the motorcar. You will be able to judge their relative performance or even compare the data with that of another company.
