CA10


CA10.1 - Allocation

Use CA10.1 (Allocation) to define and maintain allocation detail information.
Detail lines determine the allocation amount along with the post-to and
post-from accounts. Each detail line defines at least one debit and one credit
journal entry transaction. The system looks for override information defined
in the More button first for allocation data. If there is no data in the
override fields, the system uses the values defined on this screen. The
posting options determines the amount allocated.

Choose the New Alloc button to define and maintain allocation header and
detail information or copy an existing allocation.

Choose the Single button to define single line detail information for an
allocation.

Choose the Line Copy button to move, copy, insert, and delete unreleased
allocation lines.

Choose the More button to select override information for a detail line.

The allocation status displays:

Released indicates the allocation is complete and ready for further
processing. The period you selected in the Valid Period form tab in the Actual
Type form tab is within the valid date range. This allocation is calculated
when CA110 (Allocation Calculation) is run.

Unreleased lets you make additional changes to the allocation. The allocation
cannot be calculated until it has a released status.

After you release your allocation:
1. Run CA110 (Allocation Calculation) to calculate the allocation.
2. Run CA190 (Allocation Interface) to transfer allocations to the General
Ledger system.
3. Use GL45.1 (Journal Control) to display allocated amounts.

If you release transactions that include user analysis values, complete the
Strategic Ledger Processing cycle to analyze profitability. Use SL40.1 (Error
Transaction Edit) to view and correct transaction errors and SL90.1 (Strategic
Ledger Transaction Analysis) to display transactions.

including activity, step, auto reversal, and transaction type.

After you release your allocation:
