Improved Management of Cost Centre Authorisations

Introduction

The cost centre authorisation screen has been improved and tidied up. Redundant fields have been removed, validation has been tightened and the creation of authorisation records has been simplified. An authorisation can now only be created from a placement record.

Who is this feature relevant for?

• For application administrators and users who work with cost centre authorisations in the Combi environment.
• The changes are relevant for organisations that use the cost centre authorisation module within MSR.

Benefits at a glance

• The authorisation screen has been cleaned up: two redundant lookup fields have been removed.
• Only one cost centre type can be set at a time, preventing errors.
• Cost centre authorisations can only be created from a placement record, which is consistent with how authorisations are displayed and managed.
• The Candidate field is still visible but can no longer be modified.
• The project selector has been removed from the create and edit screen.

Feature explanation

The cost centre authorisation screen has been revised. The Placement and Project fields have been removed from the authorisation object, as the relevant information can always be derived via the linked cost centre.

In addition, it is now enforced that an authorisation must refer to exactly one cost centre: either a Placement Cost Centre or a Cost Centre Account. When a user selects a Placement Cost Centre in the screen, any previously selected Cost Centre Account is automatically cleared, and vice versa.

Creating authorisations from contexts other than a placement (such as project, account, candidate or cost centre) is no longer possible. This is consistent with how authorisations are displayed in the application.

Set-up / Implementation time

• This change is applied automatically and requires no additional configuration.
