Default allocation relations setup

You can use default allocation relations as the template for allocation relations that have a repeating occurrence with regard to source and destination dimensions, which is applicable in different allocation models (budget year, budget period, or actual model).

Default allocation relations can be qualitative (for example, the assignment of a building using square meters as the cost driver) or quantitative. The quantitative allocation relations are used to assign the costs of an activity to the final cost objects using the number of setups per cost object.

To set up default allocation relations, take the following steps:

  1. In the Allocation Rule Sets (tfcat4101m000) session, create an allocation rule set.
  2. In the Default Allocation Relations (tfcat4503m000) session, create default allocation relations for source/destination combinations.
  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. In the Copy Default Allocation Relations into Allocation Relations (tfcat4203m000) session, copy the default allocation relations into the allocation relations.
  6. In the Copy Allocation Relations into Default Allocation Relations (tfcat4206s000) session, copy the allocation relations into the default allocation relations (optional).
  7. In the Print Default Allocation Relations (tfcat4403m000) session, display a report for your default allocation relations (optional).
