Copy / Rename / Delete Allocation Step Page

GL_ALC_COPY

Create new steps that are identical or similar to the ones that you already defined. Also rename or delete an allocation step.

The PeopleSoft Allocations process requires several steps. Chances are that some of the steps in a single allocation—or even steps for a different allocation altogether—can be quite similar. It's possible to use identical steps in several allocations simply by specifying the step name; there is no limit to the number of times or places that you can use a given step.

Use the Copy / Rename / Delete Allocation Step page (GL_ALC_COPY) to create new steps that are identical or similar to the ones that you already defined.

Also rename or delete an allocation step.
