Section 5.5, "Setting Up Specifications for Advanced Variable Numerator Allocations"

5.1 Understanding Setup for Advanced Variable Numerator Allocations

Setup programs exist for these types of advanced variable numerator allocations:

Account balance-based allocations.
Burdening-based allocations.

The advanced variable numerator method of computing allocations provides the base functionality that is available in the variable numerator method but also supports more complex allocations and enables destination business unit overrides, based on different types of basis ratios. The advanced method computes both direct and indirect allocations and retrieves source and basis amounts for account balance-based allocations from these tables:

Business Unit Master (F0006)
Account Master (F0901)
Account Balances (F0902)

To select the source and basis data to use for account balance-based allocations, you create versions of a program and use the data selection to specify the data to retrieve from the F0006, F0901, and F0902 tables. The program that you use to create the versions is called Create Source / Basis Data Selection Versions for Account Balance Based Allocations (R09123B) and is one of the programs that you use to set up advanced variable numerator allocations. The other setup programs are:

Create Business Unit Overrides (P09123A).
Create Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Specifications (P09123).

The Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup program (P09123B) provides a launching point for each of the programs, as shown in this example:

Figure 5-1 Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup form

Description of ''Figure 5-1 Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup form''

This table describes the setup programs that can be accessed from the Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup form:

Program (Program Number)	Description
Create Business Unit Overrides (P09123A)	Use this program to set up overrides for destination business units, based on a specific basis ratio.
Create Source / Basis Data Selection Versions for Account Balance Based Allocations (R09123B)	Use this program to create versions for account balance-based allocations, using the data selection to specify the source and basis. This program retrieves data from these tables: Business Unit Master (F0006) Account Master (F0901) Account Balances (F0902)
Create Source / Basis Data Selection Versions for Burdening Based Allocations (R09123C)	Use this program to create versions for burdening-based allocations, using the data selection to specify the source or basis. This program retrieves data from these tables: Business Unit Master (F0006) Account Master (F0901) Burdening Summarized Ledger (F52G02) See Setting Up Versions for Burdening-Based Allocations.
Create Source / Basis Pool Grouping Code Data Selection Versions for Burdening Based Allocations (R0948S84)	Use this program to create versions for burdening-based allocations, using the data selection to specify the source or basis. This program retrieves data from the Pool Grouping Code table (F48S84). See Setting Up Versions for Burdening-Based Allocations.
Create Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Specifications (P09123)	Use this program to set up the specifications for source, basis, destination, and the offset accounts to compute allocations.

The Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup form includes navigation to setup programs only, and not the actual programs used to compute advanced variable numerator allocations. Those programs can be accessed from the Advanced Variable Numerator menu (24/G0923).

5.1.1 Understanding Burdening-Based Allocations

The advanced variable numerator method of computing burdening-based allocations provides the same functionality that is available in the account balance-based variable numerator method but also supports more complex allocations for labor, cost pools, and burdening. The advanced method computes both direct and indirect allocations and retrieves source and basis amounts for burdening-based allocations from these tables:

Business Unit Master (F0006)
Account Master (F0901)
Burdening Summarized Ledger (F52G02)

To select the source data and the basis data to use for burdening-based allocations, you set up versions of two programs and use the data selection to specify the source and basis accounts to retrieve from the F0006, F0901, and F52G02, tables. The programs that you use to create the versions are:

Create Source / Basis Data Selection Versions for Burdening Based Allocations (R09123C).
Create Source / Basis Pool Grouping Code Data Selection Versions for Burdening Based Allocations (R0948S84).

For burdening-based allocations, you also use these setup programs:

Create Business Unit Overrides (P09123A).
Advanced Variable Numerator (P09123).

5.2 Setting Up Business Unit Overrides

This section provides an overview of business unit overrides, provides examples, and discusses how to set up business unit overrides.

5.2.1 Understanding Business Unit Overrides

With advanced variable numerator allocations, you can compute allocations based on different types of basis ratios, and not just business units. You set up business unit overrides to identify the destination business units that the system uses when it computes allocations for the different types of basis ratios. Setting up business unit overrides allows you to allocate different percentages to different destination business units, based on basis values.

Basis ratios, which are defined in UDC table 09/RT, can be:

Business units
Related business units
Business unit types
Category codes 1–50
Contract type
Employee pool grouping code
Job pool grouping code

These guidelines apply to business unit overrides:

You must set up business unit overrides for category codes and business unit types. The system cannot compute allocations without destination business units, which you identify in the business unit overrides.
You can set up business unit overrides for business units and related business units; however, it is not required. If you do not set up business unit overrides for business units and related business units, the system uses the basis business unit for the destination business unit, as it does for the basic allocations program.

You set up business unit overrides in the Create Business Unit Overrides program (P09123A). Then, in the Advanced Variable Numerator program (P09123), you specify the basis ratio and enter the override name for the destination business unit. When you run the Compute Advanced Variable Numerator program (R09123), the program retrieves the business unit override values from the P09123A program, substitutes those values for the destination business units, and calculates the allocation percentages based on the basis values of the basis ratio.

Note:

The R09123 program ends in error if you do not provide a business unit override for each basis value.

5.2.2 Forms Used to Set Up Business Unit Overrides

Form Name	Form ID	Navigation	Usage
Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup	W09123BA	Advanced Variable Numerator (24/G0923), Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup	Navigate to one of the setup programs for the advanced variable numerator allocation.
Work With Business Unit Overrides	W09123AA	On the Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup form, click Create Business Unit Overrides.	Review a list of business unit overrides.
Edit Business Unit Overrides	W09123AB	On the Work With Business Unit Overrides form, click Add.	Set up a business unit override.

5.2.3 Example: Business Unit Overrides for Account Balance-Based Allocations

This example shows business unit overrides that are set up for category code 04:

Figure 5-2 Edit Business Unit Overrides form

Description of ''Figure 5-2 Edit Business Unit Overrides form''

The category code values selected for the basis ratio appear in the Basis Value column. The destination business unit for category code 410 (Denver Branch) is 3 (Central Branch), the destination business unit for category code 420 (London Branch) is 5 (Western Branch), and so on. When you compute allocations, the system retrieves the basis values and their respective percentages and writes the amounts to the destination business units, identified in the Override Business Unit field.

5.2.4 Example: Business Unit Overrides for Burdening-Based Allocations

This example shows business unit overrides that are set up for contract type:

Figure 5-3 Edit Business Unit Overrides form

Description of ''Figure 5-3 Edit Business Unit Overrides form''

The category code values selected for the basis ratio appear in the Basis Value column. The destination business unit for category code C3 (Cost Plus at LOD "3") is 9 (Corporate Administration), the destination business unit for category code C4 (Cost Plus at LOD "4") is 9 (Corporate Administration), and so on. When you compute allocations, the system retrieves the basis values and their respective percentages and writes the amounts to the destination business units, identified in the Override Business Unit field.

5.2.5 Setting Up Business Unit Overrides

Access the Edit Business Unit Overrides form.

Figure 5-4 Edit Business Unit Overrides form

Description of ''Figure 5-4 Edit Business Unit Overrides form''

Override Name

Enter up to five characters to identify the override business unit.

Basis Ratio

Enter the allocation ratio type from UDC table 09/RT. The hard-coded values are:

01–50: Category codes 01–50

51: Business unit

52: Related business unit

53: Business unit type

54: Contract type (used for burdening-based allocations)

55: Employee pool grouping code (used for burdening-based allocations)

56: Job pool grouping code (used for burdening-based allocations)

Basis Value

Enter the value associated with the basis ratio that you want to override. Depending on the basis ratio, values are:

Category code from UDC table 00/01–00/50.

Business unit from the Business Unit Master table (F0006).

Related business unit from the F0006 table.

Business unit type from UDC table 00/MC.

Contract type code from UDC table 51/CT.

Business unit reporting code from UDC table 00/12.

For example, if the basis ratio is 04, you would enter a value from UDC table 00/04.

Override Business Unit

Enter the business unit that overrides, or replaces, the basis value.

5.3 Setting Up Versions for Account Balance-Based Allocations

This section provides an overview of version setup for account balance-based allocations.

5.3.1 Understanding Version Setup for Account Balance-Based Allocations

You must set up different versions of the Create Source / Basis Data Selection Versions for Account Balance Based Allocations (R09123B) to specify the source and basis data to use for your allocations. The R09123B program exists for data selection purposes only; it does not contain any program logic.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides these two default versions of the R09123B program:

XJDE0001 (Select F0902 Source)
XJDE0002 (Select F0902 Basis)

You create versions for the R09123B program and specify the source or basis accounts in the data selection. For each allocation, you identify the source and basis versions to use in the Advanced Numerator Allocations program (P09123). Then, when you run the Compute Advanced Variable Numerator program (R09123), the system retrieves the versions that you specify in P09123 and computes the allocations based on data from these tables:

Business Unit Master (F0006)
Account Master (F0901)
Account Balances (F0902)

5.4 Setting Up Versions for Burdening-Based Allocations

This section provides an overview of version setup for burdening-based allocations.

5.4.1 Understanding Version Setup for Burdening-Based Allocations

You must set up different versions of these programs to specify the source and basis data to use for your allocations:

Create Source / Basis Data Selection Versions for Burdening Based Allocations (R09123C).
Create Source / Basis Pool Grouping Code Data Selection Versions for Burdening Based Allocations (R0948S84).

The R09123C and R0948S84 programs exist for data selection purposes only; they do not contain any program logic. This table lists the default versions of the R09123C and R0948S84 programs:

Program	Source VersionName / Number	Basis Version Name / Number
R09123C	Select F52G02 Source XJDE0001	Select F52G02 Basis XJDE0002
R0948S84	Select Source F48S84 Pool Grouping Code XJDE0001	Select Basis F48S84 Pool Grouping Code XJDE0002

You create versions for each of these programs and specify the source and basis accounts in the data selection. For each allocation, you identify these versions in the Advanced Numerator Allocations program (P09123). Then, when you run the Compute Advanced Variable Numerator program (R09123), the system retrieves the versions that you specify in the P09123 program and computes the allocations based on data from these tables:

F0006
F0901
F52G02

5.5 Setting Up Specifications for Advanced Variable Numerator Allocations

This section provides overviews of the specifications for advanced variable numerator allocations and the Work With Advanced Variable Numerator Allocations form and discusses how to:

Set processing options for Advanced Variable Numerator (P09123).
Set up the specifications for an account balance-based allocation.
Set up the specifications for a burdening-based allocation.

5.5.1 Understanding the Specifications for Advanced Variable Numerator Allocations

To compute advanced variable numerator allocations, you must set up specifications for the following:

Source. The amount to be allocated.
Basis. The numbers used to establish the percentage of the source amount to be allocated.
Destination. The business unit or account in which the allocated amounts are written.
Offset. The business unit or account in which the offset amounts are written.

You use the Advanced Variable Numerator Specifications program (P09123) to set up the specifications. This program stores information in the Advanced Variable Numerator table (F09123).

The Print Advanced Variable Numerator Definitions report (R0123A) provides a list of allocations and their source, basis, and destination specifications. The R0123A report reads information from the F09123 table, as well as the Advanced Variable Numerator Business Unit Override table (F09123A).
