Uses of allocation controls

Allocation controls enable you to perform these tasks:

• Release and view multiple allocations for calculation

• Backpost post an allocation already transferred to the General Ledger by period. For example, if you are currently in period 6, then you can backpost post allocations for period 4.

• Re-Allocate an allocation that was not properly allocated originally, but was already interfaced.

The allocation name, allocation type, step value, last posted period and year, and status display. This table describes the six types of allocation statuses:

Ready	Indicates that the allocation is not calculated or processed for the current period, but the current period is in the valid date range and is selected for processing.
Calculated	Indicates that the allocation was calculated using Allocation Calculation (CA110) and transactions exist. You must run Allocation Interface (CA190) or Budget Allocation Interface (CA195) to transfer allocation transactions to the General Ledger system.
Processed	Indicates that the allocations were transferred to the General Ledger system. The last processed period that displays is the same as the current period. Once you run Allocation Interface (CA190) or Budget Allocation Interface (CA195), the allocation cannot be recalculated using the same journal entry number.
No Detail	Indicates that the allocation header is defined, but no detail lines are assigned to the allocation.
Unselected	Indicates that the current period is not one of the periods chosen for processing. Select periods by accessing the Valid Periods tab on Define Allocation (CA10.2), Actual Type tab.
Out of Range	Indicates that the current period is not within the beginning and ending date range. Select the beginning and ending date by accessing the Valid Periods tab on Define Allocation (CA10.2), Actual Type tab.
