Allocation posting options
See Post options.
You can use allocation posting options to determine where to derive the amounts that you can allocate. Posting options also determine what accounts are updated and the number of transaction lines that are created 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. You can use the posting options to control the level of detail that is transferred to the General Ledger. This list shows the posting options:
- Consolidate (C)
- Account Detail (A)
- Level Detail (L)
- Full Detail (D)
The posting options that you select determine how each allocation is posted.
