Cost Accounting

  • Hello,

    I am a business central consultant, and I am having difficulty implementing the cost accounting module for a client based on their specification.

    I have done a lot of research regarding that, but I am still having some difficulty executing their specifications.

    This is their specification
    1. they have let's say 3 cost centers (CAD, CAM, MML) and 3 lines of business (Agency, consulting, retail)
    2. Now they want indirect operational expenses to be allocated to these lines of businesses equally

    This want I did
    I transferred the indirect expenses to the chart of cost type.
    Then, I transferred the cost centers from dimensions
    Then, I created the lines of business as cost objects
    Then I created cost allocation cards

    These were the rules on my allocation card
    Cost center code: CAM
    Credit to Cost type: 9900
    Lines:
    target cost type: 9900 (the end total of the chart of cost type)
    target cost object: Agency
    Allocation target type: All costs
    Static Base: 100, Static Weighting: 0.3333
    share: 33.33, Percent: 33.33, Base: Static

    I repeated this rule for the other lines of businesses (consultancy and retail).

    Target Cost Type Target Cost Center Target Cost Object Allocation Target Type Percent per Share Amount per Share Static Base Static Weighting Share Percent Base No. Filter Date Filter Code Cost Center Filter Cost Object Filter Group Filter
    9900   AGENCY  All Costs     100 0.3333 33.33 33.33 Static          
    9900   Consulting All Costs     100 0.3333 33.33 33.33 Static          
    9900   Retail All Costs     100 0.3334 33.34 33.34 Static          


    However, no allocation is done when I run allocation

    Can anyone help me with what I am doing wrong and how to do it  right?

    Check the dimension filters added to the Cost Objects.
