Beyond entity, two dimensions let you slice the plan the way the business is actually run: departments (cost centers) and locations (sites). Tag plan and actuals with them and you can plan and report by either.
Departments
Create cost centers like Sales, Engineering and G&A. Assign planning lines and headcount to a department, then read a department P&L or filter the grid to one team.
Locations
Locations represent sites or countries and can carry a default employer-cost % that headcount picks up. Plan a location’s P&L and report “Berlin vs. Tel Aviv” without a separate model.
Both dimensions are optional — start with entity only, add departments and locations when you need the finer cut.
Next steps
- Headcount uses location employer-cost defaults.
- Scope a colleague to one department or site.
