 Cost Accounting Setup


2026/02/16 • 7 min. to read
Before NCCA Cost Accounting can be used, its basic functionality must be set up. In the NCCA Cost Accounting Setup page, the general settings and defaults are defined.

General, Fields
Allow Posting FromSpecifies the earliest date on which posting in NCCA Cost Accounting is allowed.
Allow Posting ToSpecifies the last date on which posting in NCCA Cost Accounting is allowed.
Allow Deletion BeforeSpecifies whether cost types can be deleted if there are already entries for the cost type. Cost types with entries on or after this date cannot be deleted. Deleting a Cost Type:
  • There must be no cost entry and no cost budget entry for the cost type that is on or after the Allow Deletion Before date.

    • Note

    Unlike deleting a G/L Account in general ledger, the balance of the cost type does not have to be 0 when deleting. When deleting a cost type, the cost type field is deleted for all related cost entries. So the cost entries are not deleted directly. To ensure that the cost entries are no longer included in any evaluations, all values of the cost dimension fields 1 to 8 in the cost entries are also deleted when a cost type is deleted. The cost budget entries of the cost type are completely deleted when a cost type is deleted.
Deleting a Cost Dimension:
  • There must be no cost entry or cost budget entry for the cost dimension. A cost dimension can therefore only be deleted if all cost types with which the cost dimension was posted together have been deleted first.
Posting Rule Cost Dimension 1 and 2Specifies which combination of cost dimension 1 and 2 is allowed when posting.
Enable Data CheckSpecifies whether Business Central should check the journal lines while entering the data. The result of the check resp. the current messages are shown in the Journal Check FactBox.

Note

This functionality is only available as of Business Central 24.
Default Date FilterSpecifies filters that will be suggested in the Chart of Cost Dimensions. For more information, see Chart of Cost Types & Chart of Cost Dimensions, Chart of Cost Types & Chart of Cost Dimensions.

Tip

It is possible to specify [Variables] in the filter that will be calculated and replaced based on the Work Date. A list of date filter examples can be opened via the lookup of the field. For more information, see Evaluations, Edit Evaluations, Date Filter Variables.

Cost Dimension Setup

In the Cost Dimension Setup area, the Cost Type and the Cost Dimensions are created or managed. For more information, see Setup, Cost Dimension Setup.

Entry Transfer, G/L Entries, Fields

In the Entry Transfer, G/L Entries section, the settings for the G/L Entry Transfer are specified.
Starting Date G/L Entry TransferSpecifies the earliest posting date on which G/L Entries can be transferred to the NCCA Cost Accounting.
Cumulate G/L EntriesSpecifies whether G/L Entries should be transferred to the NCCA Cost Accounting individually or cumulated (one entry per day, month, quarter or year) by the manual G/L Entry Transfer.
Automatic G/L Entry TransferSpecifies whether the NCCA Cost Accounting should be updated on each posting in the general ledger.

Entry Transfer, FA Ledger Entries, Fields

In the Entry Transfer, FA Ledger Entries section, the settings for the Calculatory FA Entry Transfer are specified.
Depreciation Book CodeSpecifies the Depreciation Book with which the FA Entries must be posted in order to be transferred.
FA Posting TypesSpecifies which FA Posting Types should be transferred by the calculatory FA Entry Transfer. Regardless of the selected setting in the field, FA Entries with the following FA Posting Types are always considered by the transfer:
  • Depreciation
  • Write-Down
  • Custom 1
  • Custom 2
If the Depreciation & Book Value on Disposal (Gross Calculation) option is set up, FA Entries with the following FA Posting Type are also considered:
  • Book Value on Disposal
If the Depreciation & Gain/Loss (Net Calculation) option is set up, FA Entries with the following FA Posting Type are also considered:
  • Gain/Loss
For an FA Entry to be transferred, the FA Posting Category field must be empty for FA Posting Type Depreciation, Write-Down, Custom 1 and Custom 2. For FA Posting Type Book Value on Disposal or Gain/Loss the value of the FA Posting Category does not matter.
Starting Date Calc. FA Entry TransferSpecifies the earliest posting date on which FA Entries can be transferred to the NCCA Cost Accounting.
Cumulate FA EntriesSpecifies whether FA Entries should be transferred to the NCCA Cost Accounting individually or cumulated (one entry per day, month, quarter or year) by the manual calculatory FA Entry Transfer.
Automatic Calc. FA Entry TransferSpecifies whether the NCCA Cost Accounting should be updated on each posting.

Evaluations, Fields

In the Evaluations section, general settings for the Evaluations are defined.
Column Warning LevelSpecifies the number of columns from which a warning should be displayed when creating an evaluation. If the field is empty, a warning is displayed if the evaluation generates more than 25 columns.
Column LimitSpecifies the maximum number of columns that evaluations are allowed to generate. If the field is empty, no limit exists.

Setup, Actions

  • Source Codes

    View or set up the Source Codes. If not all Source Codes of the NCCA Cost Accounting are set up yet, a message is displayed when the action is called and they can be initialized with default values. The Codes and their Descriptions are created either in German or in English, depending on your current display language. For more information, see Setup, Source Codes.

  • NCCA Journal Templates

    View or set up the NCCA Journal Templates. If no NCCA Journal Templates have been created yet, a message is displayed when the action is called and they can be initialized with default values. The Source Codes are also assigned in the templates if they are already set up for NCCA Cost Accounting. The Names and their Descriptions are created either in German or in English, depending on your current display language. For more information, see Journals, General, Journal Templates & Journal Batches.

  • Work Types

    View or set up the Work Types. For each Work Type a Credit/Debit Cost Type can be specified that will be proposed in the Service Allocation Journal when entering the Work Type. For more information, see Chart of Cost Types & Chart of Cost Dimensions, Work Types.
