Add New Cost Center

Adds a cost center. This is a v2 native-entity endpoint served from the /v2/api/entity base and authenticated with a Bearer token.

The request body is a flat JSON object. The account layer applies no field validation here, so the only hard requirements are the two fields the database cannot default: cost_center_id and cost_center_ids. Omitting either fails with a 400.

In practice you should always send name and code as well — if omitted they are silently stored as an empty name and an empty/0 code, which is rarely useful. code must be unique across the account; a duplicate code fails with a 400.

is_primary marks a cost center as primary (root) or secondary (child):

Value	Meaning
1	Primary (root)
0	Secondary (child); defaults to `0` when omitted

cost_center_id is the id of the parent cost center — send 0 for a primary/root cost center, or the parent's id for a child. cost_center_ids is the comma-separated ancestor path of parent ids; it must be non-empty (an empty string is rejected), and it is not maintained automatically, so the caller supplies it.

branch_id, status, id, created and modified are assigned by the server and are not settable through this endpoint.

On success the response is { "message": "...", "id": <new id> }. The message is localized to the caller's language (for example Cost center Added Successfully in English).
