Defining spread codes
Spread codes enable you to spread a budget amount across multiple periods by using weighted values. Spread codes can represent seasonal fluctuations, working days, weeks each month, or any other relevant values. This procedure describes how to define a spread code.
Before you can define a spread code value for a period, you must define the accounting period in Company (GL10.1).
Use these guidelines to specify the field values:
- Company
-
Select the company where you will define a spread code.
- Year
-
Select the fiscal year that you will define a spread code.
- Spread Code / Description
-
Specify a name and description for the spread code.
- Period Value
-
Specify the value that you will use to calculate the spread code percentage. For example, if you have 10 periods and you want to spread 10% to each period, then specify 10 in all 10 period fields.
Note: To modify the percentages, specify a new period value. Select the Change special action to automatically recalculate the percentages.
