## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Caption | Cost Accounting Setup |
| DataClassification | CustomerContent |

## Fields

Explanation: the field's ToolTip in the code; without one, the ToolTip of a page control bound to the field (marked via the page); without that, its Caption (marked caption) when that differs from the name.

| No. | Name | Type | Explanation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary Key | Code[10] | — | DataClassification SystemMetadata |
| 2 | Starting Date for G/L Transfer | Date | Specifies the starting date of when general ledger entries are transferred to cost accounting. <small>via [Page 1113 "Cost Accounting Setup"](../page/1113.md)</small> |  |
| 3 | Align G/L Account | Option | Specifies how changes in the chart of accounts are carried over to the chart of cost types. <small>via [Page 1113 "Cost Accounting Setup"](../page/1113.md)</small> | OptionCaption: No Alignment,Automatic,Prompt |
| 4 | Align Cost Center Dimension | Option | Specifies how changes in dimensions are carried over to the chart of cost centers. <small>via [Page 1113 "Cost Accounting Setup"](../page/1113.md)</small> | OptionCaption: No Alignment,Automatic,Prompt |
| 5 | Align Cost Object Dimension | Option | Specifies how changes in dimensions are carried over to the chart of cost centers. <small>via [Page 1113 "Cost Accounting Setup"](../page/1113.md)</small> | OptionCaption: No Alignment,Automatic,Prompt |
| 20 | Last Allocation ID | Code[10] | Specifies a number series for allocations. <small>via [Page 1113 "Cost Accounting Setup"](../page/1113.md)</small> |  |
| 30 | Last Allocation Doc. No. | Code[20] | Specifies the last document number that is assigned to all the entries that were generated with the same allocation ID during allocation. <small>via [Page 1113 "Cost Accounting Setup"](../page/1113.md)</small> |  |
| 100 | Auto Transfer from G/L | Boolean | Specifies that the cost accounting is updated in the general ledger after every posting. <small>via [Page 1113 "Cost Accounting Setup"](../page/1113.md)</small> |  |
| 120 | Check G/L Postings | Boolean | Specifies if the predefined cost center or cost object already exists in cost accounting when you post to the general ledger. <small>via [Page 1113 "Cost Accounting Setup"](../page/1113.md)</small> |  |
| 205 | Cost Center Dimension | Code[20] | Specifies the cost center code. The code serves as a default value for cost posting that is captured later in the cost journal. <small>via [Page 1113 "Cost Accounting Setup"](../page/1113.md)</small> | TableRelation [Table 348 "Dimension"](../table/348.md) |
| 206 | Cost Object Dimension | Code[20] | Specifies the cost object code.

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