1. Select Settings > Cost Accounts.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select Use Cost Accounting.
4. Under Manage Cost Accounts for Your Locations, if you want these settings to apply only to some locations, select the desired locations. If you want these settings to apply to the entire Enterprise, do not select any locations.
5. From the options, choose when you want cost accounts to be required.
6. These additional options may be available depending upon your subscription:
