In-Depth Information
Once a cost center is added, it will show up under the Cost Center column on the Cost Centers tab. If you added
sub-cost centers as members of an existing cost center, these can be viewed by expanding the tree view (see Figure
5-22
).
As you will notice, this can become a complex architecture of cost centers to manage. However, by diligently laying out
your cost center, it will be easier to identify consumed resources and budgetary requirements down the road.

Examples of cost centers defined
As mentioned earlier, you could also import an LDAP hierarchy for your cost centers. This can be done from the
Cost Center table, through the Action menu by selecting LDAP Settings (see Figure
5-23
). There are a few, well-known
LDAPs that are supported with EM12c:
•
Oracle Internet Directory
•
Microsoft Active Directory
•
Sun iPlanet
•
Novell eDirectory
•
OpenLDAP
