Accounts module overview
The Accounts module contains accounts and cost centers grouped into a hierarchy. Finance or Accounting often use the Accounts module to review costs.
Create your accounts and cost center hierarchy
Cost centers let you group accounts together and can mirror the buildings and meters tree or your organization's financial structure. You can create multiple levels by adding cost centers under cost centers.
Types of accounts
Accounts can be vendor accounts or internal chargeback accounts.

Powerviews
Powerviews are the charts and graphs you see throughout UtilityManagement.
- For most charts you can download an image and the data that makes up the chart.
- It's easy to see the applied filters and know what data is included in the chart.
- A popover description next to the tile explains the chart.
- Date ranges in the footer make it easy to know what data is included in the chart.
