# Table 1113 "Cost Object"

> Table 1113 "Cost Object" in Base Application (Microsoft.CostAccounting.Account). 14 fields, 2 public procedures. Present since at least BC23, still in BC30, changed in BC24, BC27.

Base Application · Microsoft.CostAccounting.Account · BC23-30 · [source at ea08af5e](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/blob/ea08af5ef2d6a9b5c5af4a029288abbe2c883220/src/Layers/W1/BaseApp/CostAccounting/Account/CostObject.Table.al) · facts from BC29

Learn documents this table through its pages: [Page 1123 "Chart of Cost Objects"](../page/1123.md) (3 Learn pages), [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md) (2).

## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Caption | Cost Object |
| 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 | Code | Code[20] | Specifies the code for the cost object. <small>via [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md)</small> | NotBlank |
| 2 | Name | Text[50] | Specifies the name of the cost object card. <small>via [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md)</small> |  |
| 3 | Cost Type Filter | Code[20] | — | TableRelation [Table 1103 "Cost Type"](../table/1103.md) (Cost Type); FlowFilter |
| 4 | Date Filter | Date | — | FlowFilter |
| 5 | Net Change | Decimal | Specifies the net change in the account balance during the time period in the Date Filter field. <small>via [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md)</small> | FlowField: sum("Cost Entry".Amount where("Cost Object Code" = field(Code), "Cost Object Code" = field(filter(Totaling)), "Cost Type No." = field("Cost Type Filter"), "Posting Date" = field("Date Filter"))); not editable |
| 6 | Balance at Date | Decimal | 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. <small>via [Page 1123 "Chart of Cost Objects"](../page/1123.md)</small> | FlowField: sum("Cost Entry".Amount where("Cost Object Code" = field(Code), "Cost Object Code" = field(filter(Totaling)), "Cost Type No." = field("Cost Type Filter"), "Posting Date" = field(upperlimit("Date Filter")))); not editable |
| 7 | Sorting Order | Code[10] | Specifies the sorting order of the cost object. <small>via [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md)</small> |  |
| 8 | Comment | Text[50] | Specifies a comment that applies to the cost object. <small>via [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md)</small> |  |
| 9 | Line Type | Option | Specifies the purpose of the cost object, such as Cost Object, Heading, or Begin-Total. Newly created cost objects are automatically assigned the Cost Object type, but you can change this. <small>via [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md)</small> | OptionCaption: Cost Object,Heading,Total,Begin-Total,End-Total |
| 10 | Blocked | Boolean | 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. <small>via [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md)</small> |  |
| 11 | New Page | Boolean | Specifies if you want a new page to start immediately after this cost center when you print the chart of cash flow accounts. <small>via [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md)</small> |  |
| 12 | Blank Line | Boolean | 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. <small>via [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md)</small> |  |
| 13 | Indentation | Integer | — | not editable |
| 14 | Totaling | Text[250] | 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. <small>via [Page 1112 "Cost Object Card"](../page/1112.md)</small> |  |

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 408 "DimensionManagement"](../codeunit/408.md) (2 calls: `EntriesExist → GetDimSetFilter`, `EntriesExist → GetDimSetIDsForFilter`)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: BC24, BC27

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

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