If allocation percentages are to be corrected and account activity reallocated using the new percentages, follow these instructions.
Note: If you have Allow Dynamic Allocations checked in the GL Account Master for and allocation account, it must be unchecked prior to running the Manual Allocation Process.
To Correct Allocation Percentages:
Go to Maintain>>Allocation Master
Select the Allocation Model that is to be corrected
Make corrections to the allocation information
Save or Apply your changes
Repeat these steps until all of the allocation information has been corrected.
Reallocate using Allocation Process
Run the allocation process after all of the percentages have been corrected.
Go to Utilities>>Allocation Process
Press the Process button
The process will remove all of the information already allocated between the start date and end dated selected. It will then take all of the activity and allocate it using the new percentages on the End Date.
Note:
If you want each month to allocate and accounts to have an ending balance of zero for each month, you will need to run the program by months, entering the Start Date as the first of the month and the End Date as the last day of the month. Entering dates that span several months will leave balances in the accounts until the End Date entered, then it will be zeroed.
Warning:
If you have allocated using spanned months such as allocated for period 1/1/2010 to 3/31/2010, then the balances for 1/31/2010 and 2/28/2010 still remain. The allocation is recorded on 3/31/2010. If you would then run the allocation process for 1/1/2010 to 1/31/2010, the 3/31/2010 allocation will not be changed and will be overstated. To correct, run the allocation for 2/1/2010 to 2/28/2010 and then 3/1/2010 to 3/31/2010. When the March allocation process is run it will remove the previous allocation as of 3/31/2010 and create new allocations only for March activity.
