Checked on release 3.0.74.2 "Accounting for Kazakhstan" (version 3.0).
You received an act and an invoice for materials from the contractor: "for the object Warehouse No. 2 — 1,160,000 ₸". However, in your turnover for account 2930 of this object, there is no entry at all — or it is named "Warehouse-2", "warehouse 2", and in three other ways, with amounts spread across three different lines. It is impossible to consolidate the construction costs. The reason is simple: unfinished construction is recorded in terms of analytics, and this analytics is the elements of the reference "Construction Objects". Until the object is entered here once and correctly, all costs will "lose" each other. Let's figure out how to bring order.
1. Purpose
"Construction Objects" is an analytical reference (subaccount) for accounting capital investments. Each constructed or reconstructed object (building, workshop, road, well) is a separate element. Costs accumulate on account 2930 "Unfinished Construction", and upon commissioning, they are transferred to fixed assets.
2. Where to find
- Section "Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets" → block "Capital Construction" → "Construction Objects".
- The reference can also be opened from the documents "Receipt of Goods and Services", "Request-Invoice", "Accrual of Depreciation", etc. — in the attribute "Construction Object" via the selection button.
A quick way to open the list directly in 1C: Service → "Go to navigation link" and paste:
e1cib/list/Reference.ConstructionObjects
2a. How to find out your release
"Help" → "About the program" (or the ℹ️ icon in the upper right corner). It indicates the platform version (for example, 8.3.24) and configuration release — numbers in the format 3.0.74.2. If you have a different release, some fields may be named differently, but the logic of the reference does not change.
3. How to fill out
The reference is simple, but every detail affects whether the cost will be consolidated. Creation: click the "Create" button (or Ins) in the list.
| Field | Mandatory | Why and what happens in case of error |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | This is how the object is visible in the turnover and in document selection. Write it recognizably and uniformly: "Warehouse No. 2, Abay St. 10". If you create two similar names for one object, costs will split across two subaccounts, and the cost will not match. |
| Code | Auto-filled | Assigned automatically, no need to change. It is unique — the program distinguishes objects with similar names by it. |
| Group (folder) | No | The reference is hierarchical. Create folders by construction sites or years to prevent the list from becoming unwieldy. It does not affect postings — this is only for convenience. |
| Responsible person / foreman | No | Reference information on who is responsible for the object. It does not affect accounting but helps during reconciliation. |
| Comment | No | Free text: contract, address, deadline. |
The main rule: one physical object = one element of the reference. Do not create duplicates. Before creating a new one, check the list (enter a couple of letters in the search box above the list).
After filling out — "Save and close".
4. An example with postings
Situation. You are building a warehouse by your own means. You created the object "Warehouse No. 2". In September 2026, the contractor delivered construction materials for 1,160,000 ₸, including VAT 16%.
We calculate VAT "including" at the rate of 16% (the applicable rate in the RK for 2026):
- Base without VAT: 1,160,000 ⁄ 1.16 = 1,000,000 ₸
- VAT 16%: 1,160,000 − 1,000,000 = 160,000 ₸
In the document "Receipt of Goods and Services" (operation type "Construction / capital investments"), specify the expense account 2930 and subaccount "Warehouse No. 2". Upon posting:
| Dr | Cr | Amount, ₸ | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2930 "Warehouse No. 2" | 3310 | 1,000,000 | Construction costs |
| 1420 | 3310 | 160,000 | VAT to be credited (16%) |
Then, materials were written off from the warehouse with a "Request-Invoice" for 300,000 ₸ and wages were accrued for workers:
| Dr | Cr | Amount, ₸ | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2930 "Warehouse No. 2" | 1330 | 300,000 | Materials for construction |
| 2930 "Warehouse No. 2" | 3350 | 500,000 | Workers' wages |
According to the turnover of account 2930 in the context of subaccount "Warehouse No. 2", a total of 1,000,000 + 300,000 + 500,000 = 1,800,000 ₸ has accumulated. The construction is completed. With the document "Acceptance of Fixed Assets", we transfer:
| Dr | Cr | Amount, ₸ | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2410 "Fixed Assets" | 2930 "Warehouse No. 2" | 1,800,000 | Commissioning of the object |
After this, the subaccount "Warehouse No. 2" on account 2930 is closed to zero. All costs were consolidated because each document referred to the same element of the reference.
5. How the object participates in accounting (scenarios)
The reference itself does not move anything — it works as analytics in documents. Typical scenarios:
- Construction by own means — costs for contractors, materials, and wages fall on 2930 with subaccount "Construction Object".
- Contract construction — contractor acts on 2930 in the context of the object.
- Reconstruction / modernization of fixed assets — accumulation of costs for the object before increasing the value of the existing fixed asset.
- Commissioning — write-off of accumulated costs from 2930 to 2410 "Fixed Assets".
6. What is formed
The reference is not posted — it is not a document, it has no postings or electronic documents (ESF/SNT generate documents for receipt/sale, not the object itself). The role of the reference is to be subaccount:
- serves as a third/second dimension of analytics on account 2930 "Unfinished Construction";
- provides breakdown in reports "Turnover and Balance Sheet for Account 2930" and "Account Card";
- participates in registers of capital investment accounting when forming the cost of fixed assets.
7. Print forms
The element of the reference does not have a separate print form. What can be printed:
- List of objects — from the list form, click the "Print" button / output list (tabular document with all objects).
- Analytics for the object can be obtained through reports: OSV for account 2930, Account Card 2930 filtered by subaccount "Construction Object".
8. Common errors
"The field 'Name' is not filled!" — you clicked "Save" with an empty name. Fill in the name and save again.
Duplicate objects. In the turnover for 2930, one warehouse appears in two lines with different amounts. The reason is that different elements were selected in the documents ("Warehouse 2" and "Warehouse No. 2"). This can be fixed through "All Functions" → Processing "Search and Delete Duplicates" or by reposting documents to a single element.
"The object cannot be deleted as there are references to it in other objects". You are trying to delete an object that already has postings. Direct deletion is not allowed — mark it for deletion (Del) and delete through "Administration" → "Deletion of marked objects"; the program will indicate which documents are causing the issue.
Costs are not accumulating on the object. In the receipt document, the expense account is set to 2930, but the attribute "Construction Object" is empty — the amount will be recorded without analytics. Check that the object is selected in all lines.
You entered the object, but it is not in the document selection. It is likely in a different folder (group) or marked for deletion. Remove the filter by group or the mark.
