Allocations issues and solutions

This table contains information about how to troubleshoot Allocations issues.

Issue Solution
No balances to process
  • Check balances in the cube
  • Run refresh if balances exist in the General Ledger Total but not in the cube
  • Verify that source transactions do not cancel each other out
Allocation run failed, or Allocation task in Async terminated abnormally
  • Check Async or the error message for the cause of the error
  • Select Async Overview. On the Queue View tab, search to find the allocation queue or default queue
    • Search for the task name that begins with Allocation
    • Search for the task name AnalyticCube.Refresh
  • Fix the error and re-queue the failed Allocation async task
  • If the error is not resolved, obtain the grid logs from the time of the error, open a ticket and attach the logs
Allocation run remaining in Started status
  • Check async to verify that allocation tasks or analytic cube refresh is still running or has terminated abnormally
  • If the process terminated abnormally, then see the Allocation task in Async terminated abnormally issue
Timeout
  • Obtain the grid logs with the time-out error
  • Open a ticket with the logs. Include information on the sizes of source dimensions used and multiple overrides
Incorrect Rollup
  • Run refresh of the Finance Enterprise Group and General Ledger Total cubes
  • Rebuild the shadow files of the allocation calendar and each dimension
Note: Each dimension has a shadow file. For each summary, including top nodes, all of the summary and posting children are displayed. Shadow files are used internally for allocations, budgets, account analysis, and code block relations.
