The three steps to follow when setting up cost accounting in BLG are :

1- Determine the axes to be analyzed

2- Create the activities/accounts related to the axes to be analyzed

3- Create matching rules

In our example, we will analyze 3 axes:

Axis 1: AGENCY
Axis 2: ACTIVITIES
Axis 3: RANGES

1- Determine the axes to be analyzed

Create the axes via the Module :

Administration / Accounting / Accounting Axis / Create

Complete the various fields:

Code: Information from accounting export
Title : Name of the analytical account that will be automatically generated and accessible via Administration / Accounting / Analytical Account.
Origin
ID Origin
Type : Analysis on sales (Customer) or purchases (Supplier)

2- Create the activities/accounts related to the axes to be analyzed

The creation of the 3 axes has automatically generated the creation of 3 analytical accounts accessible via Administration / Accounting / Analytical Account :

Complete the details related to each analytical account :

Agency => Create the agencies to be analyzed (in our example 3 agencies).
Activities => Create the various activities concerned (in our example, we'll analyze the Store, Workshop and Rental activities).
Ranges => Create the ranges to be analyzed (in our example, we'll analyze mini-excavators & tractors).

To create Agencies, click on Agency / Create :

Repeat this procedure for each agency to be created :

Repeat the procedure for activities creation :

Click on Activities / Create

Repeat the procedure for ranges creation :

Click on Ranges / Create

3- Create matching rules

Once the axes and analytical accounts have been created, it is necessary to create the matchings so that BLG can perform the requested analysis.

Via the Administration / System / Matching module

Search and click on :
- analytical account on customer invoice lines: if the analysis concerns sales
- analytical account on supplier invoice lines: if the analysis concerns purchases

In our example, our analysis concerns sales, so we'll create the matchings by clicking on "analytical account on customer invoice lines".
