## 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Content | Batch Name | `CostJnlBatchName` | Specifies the name of the journal batch, a personalized journal layout, that the journal is based on. |
| Control7 | Posting Date | [Posting Date](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the entry's posting date. |
|  | Document No. | [Document No.](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the number of the related document. |
|  | Cost Type No. | [Cost Type No.](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the subtype of the cost center. This is an information field and is not used for any other purposes. Choose the field to select the cost subtype. |
|  | Cost Center Code | [Cost Center Code](../table/1101.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/1101.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. |
|  | Description | [Description](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies a description of the cost journal entry. |
|  | Amount | [Amount](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the amount of the entry in the cost journal. |
|  | Debit Amount | [Debit Amount](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the total of the ledger entries that represent debits. |
|  | Credit Amount | [Credit Amount](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the total of the ledger entries that represent credits. |
|  | Bal. Cost Type No. | [Bal. Cost Type No.](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the number of the type that a balancing entry for the journal line is posted to. |
|  | Bal. Cost Center Code | [Bal. Cost Center Code](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the number of the cost center that a balancing entry for the journal line is posted to. |
|  | Bal. Cost Object Code | [Bal. Cost Object Code](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the number of the cost center that a balancing entry for the journal line is posted to. |
|  | LineBalance | [Balance](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the balance of the cost type. |
|  | G/L Entry No. | [G/L Entry No.](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the entry number of the corresponding general ledger entry that is associated with this cost entry. For combined entries, the entry number of the last general ledger entry is saved in the field. This is the entry with the highest entry number. |
|  | Source Code | [Source Code](../table/1101.md#fields) | Specifies the source code that specifies where the entry was created. |
| Cost Type Name | CostTypeName | `CostTypeName` | — |
| Bal. Cost Type Name | Bal. Cost Type Name | `BalCostTypeName` | Specifies the name of the balance cost type on the cost journal. |
| Balance | Balance | `LineBalance + Rec.Balance - xRec.Balance` | Specifies the balance on the cost journal line. |
| Total Balance | Total Balance | `TotalBalance + Rec.Balance - xRec.Balance` | Specifies the total balance on the cost journal. |

## Actions

| Group | Action | ToolTip | Runs |

|  | Test Report | View a test report so that you can find and correct any errors before you perform the actual posting of the journal or document. |  |
|  | Post and Print | Post or print information in the journal to the related cost register, such as pure cost entries, internal charges between cost centers, manual allocations, and corrective entries between cost types, cost centers, and cost objects. |  |

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. 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 Journal")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
