Portuguese term or phrase: Centro
This is in the billing details section of a PO., in a column with terms like Razao, Endereco, CNPJ, Fone and Cidade and in a row followed by a number formatted like this: XXXX-[Company Name]. Any ideas what Centro refers to in this context?

Explanation:
I believe "centro" here is short for "centro de custo", the area or department that lauched the expense, revenue, etc.
