Understanding Setup for Advanced Variable Numerator Allocations
Setup programs exist for these types of advanced variable numerator allocations:
Account balance-based allocations
Burdening-based allocations
Joint venture-based allocations
The advanced variable numerator method of computing allocations provides the base functionality that is available in the variable numerator method but also supports more complex allocations and enables destination business unit overrides, based on different types of basis ratios. The advanced method computes both direct and indirect allocations and retrieves source and basis amounts for account balance-based allocations from these tables:
Business Unit Master (F0006)
Account Master (F0901)
Account Balances (F0902)
To select the source and basis data to use for account balance-based allocations, you create versions of a program and use the data selection to specify the data to retrieve from the F0006, F0901, and F0902 tables. The program that you use to create the versions is called Create Source / Basis Data Selection Versions for Account Balance Based Allocations (R09123B) and is one of the programs that you use to set up advanced variable numerator allocations. The other setup programs are:
Create Business Unit Overrides (P09123A).
Create Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Specifications (P09123).
The Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup program (P09123B) provides a launching point for each of the programs.
This table describes the setup programs that can be accessed from the Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup form:
Program |
Description |
|---|---|
Create Business Unit Overrides (P09123A) |
Use this program to set up overrides for destination business units, based on a specific basis ratio. |
Create Source / Basis Data Selection Versions for Account Balance Based Allocations (R09123B) |
Use this program to create versions for account balance-based allocations, using the data selection to specify the source and basis. This program retrieves data from these tables:
|
Create Source / Basis Data Selection Versions for Burdening Based Allocations (R09123C) |
Use this program to create versions for burdening-based allocations, using the data selection to specify the source or basis. This program retrieves data from these tables:
|
Create Source / Basis Pool Grouping Code Data Selection Versions for Burdening Based Allocations (R0948S84) |
Use this program to create versions for burdening-based allocations, using the data selection to specify the source or basis. This program retrieves data from the Pool Grouping Code table (F48S84). |
Create Source / Basis Joint Venture Data Selection Versions for Joint Venture Based Allocations (R09J30S) |
Use this program to create versions for joint venture-based allocations, using the data selection to specify the source or basis. This program retrieves data from the Joint Venture Master table (F09J30). See Setting Up Versions for Joint Venture-Based Allocations. |
Create Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Specifications (P09123) |
Use this program to set up the specifications for source, basis, destination, and the offset accounts to compute allocations. |
The Advanced Variable Numerator Allocation Setup form includes navigation to setup programs only, and not the actual programs used to compute advanced variable numerator allocations. Those programs can be accessed from the Advanced Variable Numerator menu (24/G0923).
