Hi all,
I am trying to rename the “Main” cost center on my new build of ERPNext (13.5.0) but I find that when I add my own cost center number, it duplicates the number in the name text field.
e.g. I rename the “Main” (default) cost center to “Primary”, and I give it the number “GB02/MA101”. I press the “Update” button, and the name becomes “GB02/MA101 - GB02/MA101 - Primary”.
I just want it to say “Primary” in the name field, nothing else. Can anyone help?
Many thanks.
Best Regards
Tom
Hi Tom, I have the same issue (in 2024 – latest).
VPWA — very painful workaround:
LUCKY VARIANT
- Use Update Cost Center Name / Number and set Cost Center Name to correct name and Cost Center Number to empty.
- Update
- Refresh page.
- Use Update Cost Center Name / Number again and set Cost Center Number to correct number. → Update
STANDARD VARIANT
- Use + Add Cost Center button and set up Cost Center with proper name and number.
- Rename Cost Center with Update Cost Center Name / Number and set Cost Center Name to correct name (including number prefix, but not company suffix — IMPORTANT!) and Cost Center Number to empty and Merge with existing to true.
- Update
(Might need to try the above several times due to random error messages.)
