Cost Centre Help

Hi there, new user in need of a bit of help.  I have set up a few Cost Centres which I would like to allocate to tasks.  Asta seems to set these Cost Centres up with a value of £0.62 as standard.  This means when I enter 100 into the allocation part of the task it defaults to 100 x £0.62 = £62. 

When I change the Cost in the Cost Centre Properties highlighted in yellow below to £1 it automatically reverts back to £0.62.  Does anyone know why it keeps reverting to £0.62 and how can I override it to let me change the cost value to £1?

Thanks in advance.

Interesting.  I guess also changing the exchange rate for the currency you had selected back to £1 = £1 would also have fixed it...

FYI I resolved this yesterday with the help of Elecosoft Support.  In the Options under View I had Pounds Sterling selected - this has a currencey exchange rate of 0.62 assigned to it.  I should have just selected Pounds as highlighted below as this has an exchance rate of 1 assigned to it. 

 

Think I would have been looking for a while to work that one out.

Hi Euan,

This is a mystery to me!  Cost Centres I set up in projects always default to £1...  Send the above text and photo to [email protected] and the more clever technical folks can look into it for you.

Thanks,

Ben
