🔍 Summary
In Premier, the financial structure for reporting and assigning revenue/deposits is managed using Business Areas, Income Centre Groups, and Income Centres. Every transaction line is tied to an Income Centre, which rolls up into an Income Centre Group, and then into a Business Area. This layered setup allows detailed segmentation of revenue streams and precise financial reporting.
❓ Likely Scenario
- Revenue streams are not showing correctly in reports
- A new department, income stream, or transaction category needs to be created
- Users are unsure how to structure Income Centres under the correct Business Area
🛠️ Process Overview
You’ll define Business Areas (top-level departments), assign Income Centre Groups to those areas, and then link Income Centres as subcategories. This creates a hierarchical financial reporting structure that ensures all transaction lines are correctly categorised.
✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:
Business Areas
- Define high-level revenue categories (departments)
- Example: Food & Beverage, Spa Treatments, Memberships
- These allow reporting in isolation for each department
Income Centre Groups
- Assign groups under each Business Area to create financial headings
- Example: Under Food & Beverage → Restaurant Sales, Bar Sales
Income Centres
- Assign detailed subcategories under Income Centre Groups
- Every transaction line is linked to an Income Centre
- Example: Under Restaurant Sales → Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
- This structure enables reporting at every level:
- Department (Business Area)
- Group (Income Centre Group)
- Sub-category (Income Centre)
🧠 Important Note
Every Income Centre must be linked to an Income Centre Group, and each group must be tied to a Business Area
Proper setup ensures deposits and revenue are tracked accurately in both operational and financial reports
