From our experience we believe we have to create a new account for each department or cost centers. Example: we have 3 departments A, B, C. In our segment 1 let’s say we have an account #8000 office supplies and we want to allocate our expenses which equal $1000, $300 for A, $300 for B, $400 for C. We believe that our software forces us to create new accounts in segment 2 let’s say account #8000-10 for department A, 8000-20 for dep. B, and 8000-30 for dep. C. Is this what you mean or is there another way of doing things.
