Cost centers

The B2Bsellers Cost Center add-on is specifically designed for B2B procurement workflows, allowing customers to allocate their purchases to specific internal accounts or projects. This transparency simplifies internal accounting and provides companies with a clear overview of their departmental spending.

Core Features

  • Unlimited Cost Centers: Companies can create as many cost centers as needed to map their internal structure.

  • Flexible Management: Easily activate or deactivate cost centers based on current project availability.

  • Internal Documentation: Utilize comment fields for each cost center to store project codes or internal notes.

  • Transaction History: A dedicated overview within the B2B platform lists all orders assigned to a specific cost center.

  • Integrated Checkout: Buyers can select the appropriate cost center via a simple dropdown menu during the checkout process.
