In analytical accounting or cost analysis, each division of a cost centre sufficiently differentiated from the rest but internally homogeneous that serves to calculate and assign costs. For example, in an automobile business unit there may be a cost centre that is the factory and within it a functional homogeneous section or group such as the paint shop. As they are homogeneous they can be referred to as a common work unit. 3, record 1, English, - costing%20unit

En comptabilité analytique ou de coûts, chaque division d'un centre de coût suffisamment différenciée des autres, mais intérieurement homogène, qui sert à calculer et à attribuer les coûts. Par exemple, dans l'unité des automobiles, il existe un centre de coût qui est l'usine, et dans celle-ci un groupe fonctionnel homogène, par exemple l'atelier de peinture. Étant homogène on peut parler d'unité d'œuvre commune. 1, record 1, French, - unit%C3%A9%20de%20frais
