Understanding Reciprocal Assignments

When you create a cost assignment, you can designate it as a reciprocal assignment. Reciprocal assignments, which are typically used with the variable numerator calculation type, are useful if you assign costs for services that are provided by supporting departments.

For a reciprocal assignment, you specify either a maximum number of iterations or a minimum residual balance. The system continues to make reciprocal assignments until it has reached either the maximum number of iterations or the minimum residual balance.
