COA Cost Center Restriction
You can also tie a cost center to an entity within a shared set. If you restrict the use of a cost center to only one entity in a domain, you cannot use the cost center in other entities. If you attempt to post to a restricted cost center, the system checks if the cost center is allowed and, if not, the posting is prevented.
