In Afas, cost centers are called specifications. It is even possible in Afas to create multiple specifications for a financial transaction. From RetailVista, only one specification (cost center) can be recorded for a financial transaction. 

In order to make specifications work in Afas, it is important to set up the general ledgers to allow for specifications. If this is not done, the specification rules from RetailVista will be ignored without any error message or warning.

The image below shows the activation of specifications on a general ledger. Specifications have been enabled for general ledger 8090, indicating that specifications are manually entered. In this case, manually means that RetailVista can provide a cost center for financial transactions.

Afterwards, in the 'Specification Assignment' tab, it should be indicated which specifications are allowed to record financial transactions within this general ledger. In the image below, a series of possible specifications have been assigned to this general ledger.

From this point on, specifications can be used with general ledger 8090. To verify that the integration is working correctly, an export can be made from RetailVista. In the example screen below, it can be seen that 'Code Specification Axis 1' has code 01. This is the result of the following transaction on general ledger 8090, with an 'Objects' section indicating that an amount of 1.64 should be booked on specification 01 (Head Office) using DiC1.
