## 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | Starting Date for G/L Transfer | [Starting Date for G/L Transfer](../table/1108.md#fields) | Specifies the starting date of when general ledger entries are transferred to cost accounting. |
|  | Align G/L Account | [Align G/L Account](../table/1108.md#fields) | Specifies how changes in the chart of accounts are carried over to the chart of cost types. |
|  | Align Cost Center Dimension | [Align Cost Center Dimension](../table/1108.md#fields) | Specifies how changes in dimensions are carried over to the chart of cost centers. |
|  | Align Cost Object Dimension | [Align Cost Object Dimension](../table/1108.md#fields) | Specifies how changes in dimensions are carried over to the chart of cost centers. |
|  | Auto Transfer from G/L | [Auto Transfer from G/L](../table/1108.md#fields) | Specifies that the cost accounting is updated in the general ledger after every posting. |
|  | Check G/L Postings | [Check G/L Postings](../table/1108.md#fields) | Specifies if the predefined cost center or cost object already exists in cost accounting when you post to the general ledger. |
| Allocation | Last Allocation ID | [Last Allocation ID](../table/1108.md#fields) | Specifies a number series for allocations. |
|  | Last Allocation Doc. No. | [Last Allocation Doc. No.](../table/1108.md#fields) | Specifies the last document number that is assigned to all the entries that were generated with the same allocation ID during allocation. |
| Cost Accounting Dimensions | Cost Center Dimension | [Cost Center Dimension](../table/1108.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 Dimension | [Cost Object Dimension](../table/1108.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. |

## 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 Accounting Setup")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
