## Fields on this page

Layout controls in source order, grouped by the container they sit in. Shows: the table field a control is bound to (or its expression as written); ToolTip: the control's own, else the bound field's (marked).

| Group | Control | Shows | ToolTip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control8 | ID | [ID](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies the user ID that applies to the cost allocation. |
|  | Level | [Level](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies by which level the cost allocation posting is done. For example, this makes sure that costs are allocated at level 1 from the ADM cost center to the WORKSHOP and PROD cost centers, before they are allocated at level 2 from the PROD cost center to the FURNITURE, CHAIRS, and PAINT cost objec... |
|  | Variant | [Variant](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies the variant of the cost allocation sources. |
|  | Valid From | [Valid From](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies the date that the cost allocation source starts. |
|  | Valid To | [Valid To](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies the date that the cost allocation source ends. |
|  | Cost Type Range | [Cost Type Range](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies a cost type range to define which cost types are allocated. If all costs that are incurred by the cost center are allocated, you do not have to set a cost type range. |
|  | Cost Center Code | [Cost Center Code](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies the cost center code. The code serves as a default value for cost posting that is captured later in the cost journal. |
|  | Cost Object Code | [Cost Object Code](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies the cost object code. The code serves as a default value for cost posting that is captured later in the cost journal. |
|  | Credit to Cost Type | [Credit to Cost Type](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies the cost type to which the credit posting is posted. The costs that are allocated are credited to the source cost center. It is useful to set up a helping cost type to later identify the allocation postings in the statistics and reports. |
|  | Total Share | [Total Share](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies the sum of the shares of the cost allocation targets. |
|  | Blocked | [Blocked](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies that the related record is blocked from being posted in transactions, for example a customer that is declared insolvent or an item that is placed in quarantine. |
|  | Allocation Source Type | [Allocation Source Type](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies if the allocation comes from both budgeted and actual costs, only budgeted costs, or only actual costs. |
|  | Comment | [Comment](../table/1106.md#fields) | Specifies a comment that applies to the cost allocation. |

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "page", object_name: "Cost Allocation Sources")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
