      <Paragraph>A calculation office is a work center that
		determines the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000011" role="glossary">enterprise unit</Link> for a PCS project or production order. The enterprise unit is
		linked to a <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#FinancCompan_tf" role="glossary">financial company</Link>,
		which is financially responsible for a project or production order. Projects
		and production orders are always linked to a calculation office, so that LN can book the costs and <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Result_ti" role="glossary">production results</Link> of the production order or project to the financial company.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The calculation office has an administrative
		function, but can also act as normal work center, even in the same production
		order.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>Work centers and warehouses can belong to
		  enterprise units that are different from the calculation office's enterprise
		  unit. The financial transactions of the work centers and warehouses are posted
		  to the financial companies of their own enterprise units.</Paragraph>
