Allocation keys setup

To automatically create outgoing percentage allocation relations of the same type, you can define an allocation key for the chosen allocation rule set and generate the respective allocation relations accordingly. If the allocation structure occurs multiple times for different source dimensions, use an allocation key to define percentage allocation relations to a group of destination dimensions.

To set up allocation keys, take the following steps:

  1. In the Allocation Key Names (tfcat4105m000) session, create the allocation key names.
  2. In the Allocation Keys (tfcat4502m000) session, set up multiple allocation keys for allocation rule sets. You can insert cost categories that you create in Step 3. In that case, choose distinct value portions.
  3. In the Cost Categories (tfcat0102m000) session, create the required cost categories.
  4. In the Ledger Accounts by Cost Category (tfcat0103m000) session, link ledger accounts to the defined cost categories. Use the cost categories in the default allocation relations.
  5. Run the Generate Allocation Relations with Allocation Key (tfcat4202s000) session to generate the allocation relations for each allocation key in turn.
