Consumption allocation relations setup

If the allocation is consumption oriented, you can create allocation relations according to consumption rules that can be used to generate outgoing budget and actual allocation relations from a retrograde source.

This process enables you to back-flush resource and process requirements from the source dimension to the destination dimension using the retrograde calculation.

To set up the consumption rules for allocation relations, perform these steps:

1. Create an allocation rule set in the Allocation Rule Sets (tfcat4101m000) session.
2. Define the rules for source/destination combinations in the Consumption Rules (tfcat4504m000) session.
3. Create a single dimension budget in the Budgets (tffbs0503m000) session.
4. Insert the budget for the current year using the Budgets per Year (tffbs0505m000) session.
5. Specify dimensions and reference units (with the appropriate ledger accounts) for your budget in the Flexible Budget by Year (tffbs1510m000) session.
6. Define a performance budget per year and a performance quantity or surcharge base amount per year for your budget in the Performance Budget by Year (tffbs1120m000) session, .
7. Create allocation relations in the Generate Allocation Relations with Allocation Key (tfcat4202s000) session.
8. Run the Retrograde Calculation (tfcat4213m000) session to perform the retrograde calculation for the budget.
9. Run the Integrate and/or Post Cost Allocation Results (tfcat4211m000) session, to integrate the results of the retrogade calculation into the budget.
