Allocation posting options
See Posting options.
Use allocation posting options to determine where to derive the amounts that you will allocate. Posting options also determine what accounts the system updates and the number of transaction lines the allocation creates when you define posting options on Allocation (CA10.1) or Allocation Detail (CA10.7).
You can define different combinations of posting options in the Post From and Post To fields of each allocation. Use the posting options to control the level of detail transferred to the General Ledger. These are the posting options:
-
Consolidate (C)
-
Account Detail (A)
-
Level Detail (L)
-
Full Detail (D)
Your choice of posting options determines how the system will post each allocation.
