During the transfer of general ledger entries to cost entries, Microsoft Dynamics NAV creates connections in the entries in the G/L Entry table, the Cost Entry table, and the Cost Register table to make it possible to trace the connections between cost entries and general ledger entries.
General Ledger Entries
For each general ledger entry that is transferred to cost accounting, Microsoft Dynamics NAV fills the cost Entry No. field.
Cost Entries
For each cost entry, Microsoft Dynamics NAV saves the entry number of the corresponding general ledger entry in the G/L Entry No. field in the Cost Entry table.
For combined cost entries, Microsoft Dynamics NAV saves the entry number of the last general ledger entry, which is the entry with the highest entry number.
The G/L Account field in the Cost Entry table contains the number of the general ledger account that the cost entry came from.
For single cost entries, Microsoft Dynamics NAV transfers the posting text from the general ledger entry to the Description text field. For combined entries, the text field shows these entries are transferred as combined entries. For example, for a combined entry for the month of October in 2013, the text can be Combined Entries, October 2013.
Cost Register
In the Cost Register table, Microsoft Dynamics NAV creates an entry with the source transfer from general ledger. The entry records the first and last entry numbers of the general ledger entries that are transferred, in addition to the first and last entry numbers of the cost entries that are created.
