    Create Distribution Cycle
    

The Marketing & Sales Department heavily utilizes GBI's copy center for printing out reports. Sometimes there are delays in when they receive the documents they need. As such, they have decided to create their own copy center within the Marketing & Sales Department. The copy center will allow them to quickly print and distribute the reports they use daily. The new copy center will absorb costs and then split them among the three groups in the Marketing & Sales Department: Marketing, Sales, and Global Sales. In this section, you will create a distribution cycle. The distribution will be used to allocate costs incurred by the copy center to other cost centers.
