Enter Apply To Information

The Apply To information defines where you want to code the result of the cost assignment.

Each field has four options. You can apply the results of the cost assignment to a specific value (Specify), the value in the Based On field, or the originating value (From). You can also select the Match option. This option allows you to specify that you want the calculations to occur where the values of the From and Based On fields match. The Apply To value will be the same as the From and Based On value. This option is not valid for the Index Computation calculation type.

For example, suppose that you want to apply the costs to the same business unit that you used in the From information. However, you want to apply it to a different account. When you enter the Apply To options, specify that the Apply To business unit is the same as the From business unit. You must enter a specific value for the new object account.

Based on the assignment type selection, the system displays only those fields that are valid for the assignment type. Consider the following validation rules for each assignment type when you enter the Apply To information:

Assignment Type	Validation Rules
Index computation	The Apply To result updates the Cost Analyzer Balance table based on the From or Specific Values.
Variable numerator	The Apply To results update the Cost Analyzer Balance table either based on the From, Based On, Match or Specific Values.
Rate calculations	The Apply To component can only be a cost pool or activity for the Rate table.
Rate-based computations	The Apply To amount is stored in the Cost Analyzer Balance table at an account, activity, or cost object level. You must specify an account.
