Before you can run a corporate allocation, you must specify the allocation components and then combine these into an allocation processing rule.
Allocation Setup (CALS) links the allocation source, the allocation target and the allocation ratio to create the allocation sequence. You may combine a number of allocation sequences in an allocation setup.
There are three steps required to define and initiate a corporate allocation:
1. Define the two or three allocation components required:
- Use Allocation Sources (CALSS) to create an allocation source which identifies the transactions to be used as the basis for the allocation.
- Use Allocation Targets (CALT) to create an allocation target which identifies the target account, and optional target offset account, to be used by the generated postings.
- Optionally, use Allocation Ratios (CALR) to define an allocation ratio which identifies the calculation rules required.

2. Use Allocation Setup (CALS) to combine the allocation components into an allocation sequence, within an allocation setup.
3. Finally, when the allocation is fully defined, use Corporate Allocation Run (AR) to perform the allocation. Tip: The first time you run an allocation you should set the Post Transactions option in the Corporate Allocation Run to No to report on the ledger transactions and check they have been produced correctly. Steps 1 and 2 are only required to maintain the allocation setup. Once you have defined the allocation you can run it as often as you need to. Only registered users can write comments.
