Cost Centre

Overview

📥 Direction: Sage X3 → Zudello
🔄 Sync Type: Incremental sync
⏱️ Frequency: Based on _updateStamp

Cost centre data flows from Sage X3 to Zudello by extracting dimensions with type "Cost Center", providing departmental and cost allocation capabilities.

Key Benefits

✅ Dimensional Analytics - Leverage Sage X3's analytical dimension capabilities
✅ Cost Allocation - Enable cost center-based financial tracking
✅ Department Management - Support departmental cost organization
✅ Analytical Integration - Full integration with analytical accounting

Field Mappings

Zudello Field	Sage X3 Field	Data Type	Notes
code	dimension	String	Dimension code
name	localizedShortDescription or localizedDescription or dimension	String	Fallback hierarchy
status	N/A	String	Always "ACTIVE"

Target Entity

Maps to Zudello.costCentre entity.

Configuration Requirements

Dimension Type Filtering

This integration specifically filters for dimensions with dimensionType.localizedDescription = "Cost Center". Only properly configured cost center dimensions will be synchronized.

Processing Logic

Sync Behavior

• Dimension Type Filtering: Specifically filters for "Cost Center" dimension types
• Incremental Updates: Uses _updateStamp to fetch only changed records
• Analytical Structure: Leverages Sage X3's analytical dimension capabilities

Data Handling

• Code vs Name: Uses dimension field as code, localized descriptions as display name
• Name Fallback: Uses localizedShortDescription, then localizedDescription, then dimension
• Status Assignment: All cost centres are marked as "ACTIVE"
• Page Limit: 200 records per page for efficient processing

Dimension Structure

The integration works with Sage X3's analytical dimension framework:

• Dimension Types: Filters specifically for "Cost Center" dimension types
• Analytical Capabilities: Supports advanced cost tracking and allocation
• Multi-dimensional Analysis: Enables complex financial reporting

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
Cost centre not syncing	Dimension type not "Cost Center"	Verify dimension type configuration in Sage X3
Missing names	Empty localized descriptions	Check dimension descriptions in Sage X3
Type classification errors	Incorrect dimensionType setup	Review dimension type settings in Sage X3
Sync delays	_updateStamp not updating	Verify modification tracking in Sage X3
