Balancing Allocations in a Single Currency Environment

In a single currency environment, the allocations must balance in the base currency. There are two base currency balancing options available for a business unit: Manual or Automatic. This is determined by the Base Currency Amount Balancing setting in Business Unit Setup.

Manual Balancing

If the Base Currency Amount Balancing setting is Manual, the total debit and credit allocations in the base currency must balance before the allocations can be posted.

The system attempts to balance the allocations by treating the imbalance as either discount or a write on/off, depending on whether or not the Write On/Off Balancing feature is enabled.

If the allocations still do not balance because the difference is outside the discount or write on/off tolerances, you must adjust the allocations manually, or generate and post an additional transaction to balance the allocations before they are posted.

Automatic Balancing

If the Base Currency Amount Balancing setting is Automatic, the system calculates and posts any discount allowed or allowable write on/off values.

It then automatically posts a balancing adjustment to balance the allocations, providing the balancing adjustment value is within the Value 1 Rounding Threshold identified in Business Unit Setup. If the balancing value is greater than the threshold amount, you must balance the allocations manually.
