It’s a place not a thing
August 25, 2021 at 5:26 pm #632903I have read that cost centre can be function, place, person or any machine on which cost can be accumulated.

Exactly same point. A cost centre can be item of equipment. I am too confused.
August 25, 2021 at 6:01 pm #632909An machine is a place; a person can be too. An item of inventory isn’t a place: it is the output of a number of places whether they are departments, branches, teams, individuals or machines.
