How are Cost Type and G/L Account linked?

Each G/L Account can be assigned a Cost Type using the NCCA Cost Type Code field on the G/L Account Card. The assignment is basically done automatically via the Create action, but can also be done manually or changed manually. I.e. each G/L Account can only have one Cost Type assigned to it. The other way round, a Cost Type can be assigned to several G/L Accounts.
