What Allocation Markers are Available?
The following table describes each of the allocation markers available. For each marker, it identifies the other allocation markers it can be changed to, for example using Account Allocations (ACA). The allocation markers are identified by single character letter e.g. F = Force.
| Allocation Marker | Description | May be changed to .. |
| Y-To Be Allocated (becomes A-Allocated after posting) | This marks a transaction as allocated. A transaction is given this marker when it is marked for allocated. | Not applicable (see A-Allocated) |
| A-Allocated | This indicates that the transaction has previously been marked with To Be Allocated and then posted. | space, 0-9, F, W, Y, C, R, S |
| B-Brought Forward | This marker is used by Payment Run (PYR) if the amount to be paid is discovered to be a debit balance. These transactions are included in subsequent payment runs until the balance reverts to a credit. A similar situation arises in Payment Collection Run (PYC), but where the amount to be 'paid' is discovered to be a credit balance. | Y, B, S |
| C-Correction | This marker is used to highlight transactions posted in error. Transactions with this marker may be excluded from all reports except Journal Listing and Trial Balance. Use the Report Corrections option in Ledger Setup (LES) to determine whether these transactions are included in the report. | space, 0-9, F, W, Y, C, S |
|
F-Force
|
This marker identifies transactions to be paid in the next Payment Run or Payment Collection Run. | space, 0-9, F, W, Y, C, R, S |
| P-Paid | This marker identifies transactions that have been paid and matched by Payment Run and Payment Collection Run. It cannot be entered manually. | space, 0-9, F, W, Y, C |
| R-Reconciled | This marker identifies bank account transactions that have been reconciled with the bank statement. | space, 0-9, F, W, Y, C, R, S |
| W-Withhold | This marker works in reverse to the Force maker. Transactions with this marker are excluded from Payment Run and Payment Collection Run. | space, 0-9, F, W, Y, C, R, S |
| 0 to 9 | These markers are used to indicate the various processing stages that a transaction can go through during its lifetime. They are used primarily for bills of exchange and promissary notes. Each number represents the stage in the life of the bill. These markers can be incremented manually or by printing specific documents. See Document Format (DFS). | space, 0-9, F, W, Y, C, R, S |
| Space | You can enter a space to remove an existing allocation marker from the current transaction. | space, 0-9, F, W, Y, C, R, S |
| S-Split (becomes A-Allocated after posting) | You enter Split on a transaction where you want to split the amount to record a part payment or receipt. | Not Applicable (see A-Allocated) |
| T-Paid Unmatched | This marker identifies manual payment override transactions generated and paid by Payment Run or Payment Collection Run. It makes these transactions available for manual matching using Account Allocations (ACA). This marker cannot be set manually. | space, 0-9, F, W, Y, C, R, S |
