Tracing Management Ledger Profitability Allocations

The Trace Allocations task area of Management Ledger Profitability enables you to select a model view and POV and then trace forward or back from that point to see allocation inputs and outputs for a selected dimension.

While rule balancing, described in Rule Balancing for Management Ledger Profitability Application Validation presents some similar information in a grid format, the Trace Allocations feature shows graphically how allocation amounts are flowing in and out of model elements. You can use this information for evaluation and validation. When you trace, you can select a particular generation level or always roll up data to the top. For details, see the listed topics.
