Below is a subset of a sample Department, Cost Center and Operation structure.  This sample is provided as a rough guideline- your plant's structure should be organized to match your unique requirements and operations.  We recommend drafting and reviewing the structure with your support representative before entering the items into Presidio.  Download the Department Cost Center Operation Worksheet to get started.

Your support representative can help you select the calc# the matches your preferred method of calculation.
Departments are the top tier of the structure used to organize a plant by work area.
Cost Centers are sub-categories of departments commonly used to identify individual pieces of equipment.
Operations are the actual functions, materials and purchases used to produce a job. To estimate, an operation will need to be assigned to one of the 30+ available calculations. Please consult with Printers Software Support for assistance in calculation assignment.
