Is it possible to put a cost center in the header of a customer invoice, and a different cost center on the invoice lines?

In Workday Financials, a cost center is a critical component of the financial management system as it helps organizations track expenses and revenues associated with specific areas within the organization. When dealing with customer invoices, the cost centers associated with the invoice must maintain consistency to ensure accurate tracking and reporting.

The structure of a customer invoice in Workday is designed to align at both the header and line levels to reflect the same cost center. This uniformity is necessary to maintain clarity in financial reporting and ensure that all expenses are allocated to the correct accounts. Having a different cost center on the header versus the invoice lines would create discrepancies in financial data and reporting accuracy, which is why this approach isn't feasible within the system.

Therefore, it is not allowed to have varying cost centers on a single invoice, reinforcing the importance of maintaining consistency across the document for effective financial management.
