Tabs
The sub profit center card contains several tabs:
Forms
There are two lists of forms in which you can select what will be used in this center:
Entries forms, and sales and return invoices.
You cannot use the same form in more than one profit center, so the list of forms gets shorter each time you select a form from it: the forms selected in the defined centers disappear from the list.

The cash account in the sales and return invoice forms selected on the Forms tab must match the consigned goods account on the Accounts tab of the sub profit center card.
You can reach the invoices forms from the Invoices tab, by clicking the small arrow shown in the image.
