Type
The type of allocation to be performed. Two types are available:

Charge Type Allocation selects the transactions specified in the allocation source and creates the target transactions required without affecting the source account. Split Type Allocation automatically reverses the source transactions as well as generating the target transaction postings. See What are the Allocation Types?.

Source Code
The source of the allocation as defined using Allocation Sources (CALSS). This determines the allocation source amount by identifying the source accounts and transactions. You can leave this blank if the allocation type is Charge Type Allocation and the Ratio Basis in Allocation Ratios is Fixed Amount.
Click Allocation Sources to view or amend the allocation sources available.
Target Code
The target for the allocation postings as defined using Allocation Targets (CALT). This determines the target and offset accounts to be updated as a result of the allocation. You can leave this blank if the allocation type is Split Type Allocation and the allocated amounts are to be posted to the source accounts, as specified in Allocation Sources.
Click Allocation Targets to view or amend the allocation targets available.
Ratio Code
The allocation ratio to be used with this allocation. Allocation ratios are defined using Allocation Ratios (CALR). If this is blank, 100% of the source amount is allocated to the target during an Allocation Run.

Target Period From/To
The period, or range of periods, to which the generated allocation transactions are to be posted for this allocation. If this is left blank, the transactions are posted to the period specified in Period To field in the allocation run. The following table shows the possible combinations and their results:

Journal Type
The journal type to be used as the default for the generated transactions. See also Retain Journal Type field later in this topic.
