Posted on by Community Member

Hello,

I 've started using the cost accounting module as I need to run allocations based on statistical values (volume shipped, n° of employees).

I have two cost control units in a hierarchy.

When I import GL data as below

All cost entries sit with the product code control unit and no transactions are related to the SSBL control unit.

Does it mean we cannot keep the combination of dimensions we have in GL in the cost accounting module?

The goal is to have a P&L by SSBL and product code.

Kind regards

Hello Antoine,

Where you find the information about Volume Shipped, employees? From Excel or from D365Fo?

Hi,

What is SSBL?

Is this a financial dimension?

In your second screenprint there is a column for SSBL and one for the product code.

Is this wrong?

Best regards,

Ludwig

It is a business line and both cost control units are financial dimensions.

I would to import the balance of the SSBL and product code. So it is right both values are filled in the GL module

Kind regards

Hello Antoine,

Cost Accounting works with only one dimension, you cannot use severals dimensions, this is important to understand, why?

In cost accounting theory you always needs to get a P&L by "Factor or Line", for example Cars, bottles, guitars or specific product in order to gets a FC P&L or DC P&L, then module Cost accounting, nowadays and with my knowledge about this module, you have 3 parts:

- GL of D365

- Secondary GL of D365

- Dimensions.

- Statistical Dimensions (Important this part in cost accounting is very important and give the difference from finance and Cost accounting)

you could have the information, by work section, etc. Um(Mix from GL-GL secondary-Dimensions /UF Statistical)

I hope help this answer!
