G/L
Accounts — Allocation
Tab
The Allocation tab tells General Ledger how to distribute the balance of an account when you run Create Allocation Batch (in the G/L Periodic Processing folder).
To define account reallocations
-
Choose whether the account is reallocated based on the account balance or on the account quantities.
Reallocation by account balance distributes the balance in the account to the target accounts based on the percentages that you specify on the Allocation tab. (For example, you could distribute 25% of the balance to each of four accounts.) This choice distributes balances only, and does not distribute quantities.
Reallocation by account quantities distributes the net quantity in an account to the target accounts according to the percentages that you specify. It then distributes the account balance to the target accounts based on the quantities that were distributed. All accounts must maintain quantities, and they must use the same unit of measure.
-
List the accounts to which you are allocating balances, together with the reference, description, and percent of the account balance or quantity that you want to assign to each transaction detail.
Note: The total percent allocated must be 100%.
