Open the Responsibility Center Card window.

Specifies information about your responsibility center.

A responsibility center can be a cost center, a profit center, or an investment center. Examples of responsibility centers are a sales office, a purchasing department for several locations, or a plant planning office.

You set up responsibility centers to help administer your business. For example, a responsibility center can administer sales and purchases for one or more warehouses or distribution centers, where goods are handled and stored before use.

Each responsibility center has a name, such as the address of the regional office, and a code representing the name. You assign a code to a responsibility center. This code can be used in the responsibility center code fields elsewhere in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. For example, when you enter a responsibility center code on purchase and sales documents it affects the address, dimensions, and prices on the documents. Entering a location code to responsibility center card will mean that the location (for example, a warehouse or distribution center) is administered by that responsibility center.
