Calculating allocations

Allocation

Select an allocation to calculate a single allocation.

To calculate all of the allocations in the allocation control, the Allocation and Group fields must be blank.

Group

Select an allocation group to process a specific group of allocations.

Allocation Post Date

Select a date to identify the period in which to process allocations and to determine the posting date of the generated journal lines. If this field is left blank, then the current corporate date is used.

From Step

Specify a beginning step range to calculate allocations within that range.

To Step

Specify a ending step range to calculate allocations within that range.

Journalize If Complete

Select this check box to automatically journalize the allocation transactions after the allocation run completes successfully. This field only applies when calculating allocations for actuals.

Generate Reports

Select this check box for both the Calculation Report and the Listing Report.

Include Source Details

Select this check box to include details of the source in the Listing Report. When this field is selected, the Allocation Listing Report contains the period source balance, allocable amount, weight values, and percentages.

Number Of Batches

Optionally, specify the number of batches used to determine the number of allocation lines in each batch if the allocation lines are run by batch. The default value is from the Minimum Number of Batches, but you can override or change it for the allocation run. The number of allocation lines in a batch is calculated by dividing the total number of allocation lines in a step by this number.

• To view and download a report containing details of the allocations, select the allocation run and select Drill Around® > Listing Report.
• To generate the report, select the Generate Report check box.

If the allocation run fails, then fix the error and re-queue the allocation async task.
