Microsoft Cost centers setup & Mapping on JisrHR

In this step, The admin will be able to map cost centers for each subsidiary ( if any ) in Microsoft with Jisr, so that the data flows correctly as follows :

• Determine & Select the Microsoft Cost Center Type for each subsidiary that you would like to be connected with Jisr.

• Map Microsoft cost centers with Jisr org-structure (Areas, Locations, and Departments).

• If you do not use cost centers to track employees' costs, click on “ I do not use cost centers ” option.

Important Note: Troubleshooting Cost Center Display in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

If you encounter an issue where cost center elements (Dimension Values) are not visible in the user interface during the integration process, it indicates that the "Dimension_Values_Excel" service is not enabled.

Steps to Enable the Service

To resolve this issue, please ensure the "Dimension_Values_Excel" service is enabled in your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central settings. This service can be accessed via the following API endpoint:

hosturl/ODataV4/Company('Company Name')/Dimension_Values_Excel?$filter=Dimension_Code

Once the service is enabled, the cost center elements will appear, allowing you to successfully complete the integration.

Note: Please get in touch with your service provider to enable this service

Disclaimer :

• This step depends on whether the finance in the company tracks employees' costs per specific cost center.

• If the Admin selected to track employees' costs at the cost center level, the admin would be asked to determine cost center types used for the mapping.

• Admin will be able to Map Microsoft cost centers with Jisr org-structure (Areas, Locations, and Departments) or Create a " Custom Cost Center ".

• If the admin selected to map a " Custom Cost Center " then he will be required to specify the cost center items by clicking on the Add button ( will choose from the cost center items list coming from Microsoft).

• Admin would be able to define the employees' list for custom cost centers (optional)

  Note: When an employee's "Department" or "Location" field (which dictates their organizational unit) is updated in the HR system, their assigned "Cost Center" is automatically changed to the corresponding cost center linked to the new department/location.

  Note: Jisr system provides the user with the ability to allocation employee costs to cost centers.
