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
Control1	No.	No.	Specifies the number of the involved entry or record, according to the specified number series.
	Name	Name	Specifies the name of the cost type.
	Type	Type	Specifies the cost type included in the line.
	Totaling	Totaling	Specifies an account interval or a list of account numbers. The entries of the account will be totaled to give a total balance. How entries are totaled depends on the value in the Account Type field.
	Cost Classification	Cost Classification	Specifies the cost type by variability.
	G/L Account Range	G/L Account Range	Specifies a general ledger account range to establish which general ledger account a cost type belongs to.
	Net Change	Net Change	Specifies the net change in the account balance during the time period in the Date Filter field.
	Cost Center Code	Cost Center Code	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	Specifies the cost object code. The code serves as a default value for cost posting that is captured later in the cost journal.
	Combine Entries	Combine Entries	Specifies the option to allow for general ledger entries to be posted individually or as a combined posting per day or month.
	Budget Amount	Budget Amount	Specifies either the cost type’s total budget or, if you have specified a filter in the Budget Filter field, a filtered budget. The contents of the field are calculated by using the entries in the Amount field in the Cost Budget Entry table.
	Balance	Balance	Specifies the balance of the cost type.
	Blocked	Blocked	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.
	New Page	New Page	Specifies if you want a new page to start immediately after this cost center when you print the chart of cash flow accounts.
	Blank Line	Blank Line	Specifies whether you want a blank line to appear immediately after this cost center when you print the chart of cost centers. The New Page, Blank Line, and Indentation fields define the layout of the chart of cost centers.
	Balance to Allocate	Balance to Allocate	Specifies the net amount that can still be allocated. The entry in the Allocated field in the Cost Entry table determines whether a cost entry is a part of this field.
	Balance at Date	Balance at Date	Specifies the cost type balance on the last date that is included in the Date Filter field. The contents of the field are calculated by using the entries in the Amount field in the Cost Entry table.

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 Type List"), then bcatlas_get_procedure_body or bcatlas_get_neighbors on the returned id.
