Files & Cost Centers

This is the core of the filing system of Socrate. Each contact, company, project, asset,... is assigned a file which will hold any transaction related to this one. Files are processed depending on their category: contact files will hold addresses, debit/credit ceilings, terms of payment, etc. while an asset file will hold purchase value, and depreciation methods... 
Each is the container of transactions recorded by other modules (accounting entries, orders, memos, invoices, etc.). By referring to a file in any transaction, the system keeps a virtual copy of this transaction into the file. Thus when querying it, Socrate displays a consolidated overview of the content of this one (accounts, sales, memos, etc.).
