Generate and export employee cost center assignment reports directly from the ONE chat. This feature allows you to quickly access structured data without manual compilation, saving time and reducing errors.
You must have access to Cost Centers in Factorial to use this skill. ONE will only include data within your visibility permissions — employees or cost centers you don't have access to will not appear in the report.
Overview
With ONE, you can request reports of employee cost center assignments based on specific criteria such as teams, legal entities, cost centers, and date ranges. The report is generated instantly and can be downloaded in Excel or CSV format.
When and why it should be used
Use this functionality when you need a quick overview or detailed breakdown of how employees are assigned to cost centers. It is especially useful for financial reporting, budgeting, and internal analysis, without needing to manually gather data from multiple sources.
How to use
- Open the ONE chat in Factorial
- Specify the employees you want to include (e.g. by team or legal entity)
- Indicate the cost centers you want to report on.
- Define the date range for the report
- Examples:
- “Download a cost center assignment report for the Finance team in Q1, in Excel format”
- "Give me the cost center distribution for all employees in the Madrid legal entity between January and March, in CSV"
- ONE will generate the report and make it available for download in Excel or CSV
Keep in mind
- You can filter by a specific cost center or include multiple ones in the same report
- If an employee has no cost center assigned for the selected period, they will appear in the report with empty values
- Results will always reflect your Cost Centers visibility permissions
Tips and best practices
