Overview

Use Allocation Entry to define and maintain allocation distributions from a source account to multiple destination accounts. You can select percentage, quantity, or basis as the method of allocation. A basis method allows you to calculate distribution amounts based on the current activity, prior activity, beginning balance, ending balance, prior year activity, or budget of destination accounts. The basis calculation can also be linked to the current activity, prior activity, beginning balance, ending balance, prior year activity, or budget of another account. You can also select whether the allocation is to be posted manually using General Journal Entry, or if prompted, you can select to post allocations during period-end, quarter-end, or year-end processing.

Account masks provide more flexibility in assigning distribution accounts for allocation entries. You can use wildcard and template characters to specify account masks for destination accounts.
