Cost Centers and Accounts

The Allegra system can manage efforts in the form of “work” and “costs”. Expenses are assigned to accounts, which in turn belong to cost centers.

In Allegra, you can track costs for expenses other than labor, such as equipment and consulting. Labor expenses are stored in the database in units of hours. Costs are recorded in the currency set for the particular workspace.

Accounting can be activated or deactivated for each work workspace. A single account can be used by many workspaces. A project can have any number of accounts.

An account belongs to exactly one cost center. You can use cost centers to group accounts.
