Understanding Account Balance-Based Allocations

Review the setup tasks that are required for advanced variable numerator allocations for the account balance-based allocations process:

• Create business unit overrides in the P09123A program.

• Create data selection versions for source and basis accounts over F0006, F0901, and F0902 tables in the R09123B program.

• Set up specifications for source, basis, destination, and offset accounts in the P09123 program.

• Print the specifications for source, basis, destination, and offset accounts in the R09123A program.

• Calculate the source, basis, destination, and offset amounts in the R09123 program.

Typically, after you complete the setup tasks for allocations, you revise the specifications and test the output until you are satisfied with the results. After the initial setup, you revise the specifications only if you receive new requirements or there is a change in the organization.

On a routine basis, calculate allocations based on the specifications that you set up. Calculating allocations is the final, and recurring, step in the allocation process. To do this, you run the Compute Advanced Variable Numerator Allocations program (R09123).
