  • Process multiple allocations at the same time. For example, you can select an allocation group to release, calculate, and update all allocations in a group.

  • Group allocations that is usually processed in a specific cycle, such as allocations that you want to run every period versus every quarter.

  • Group similar allocations, such as, a specific user analysis value.

  • Process one group of allocations before another group of allocations.
