Define Allocation Step - Type Page

ALLOC_CALC_OPTN

Define one of five allocation types, as well as any special arithmetic operations that you want to perform by using the pool and basis.

Select a transaction code for use in interunit and intraunit allocations.

Define Allocation Step - Pool Page

ALLOC_POOL

Define the allocation pool: pool record, selection criteria, and selection method. You can define the pool from ledger balances, any table, or a fixed amount.

Pool Exceptions Page

ALLOC_POOLX

Enter pool exceptions for ranges of values.

See the Define Allocation Step - Pool Page.

Define Allocation Step - Basis Page

ALLOC_BASIS

Determine the basis of the allocation or how the pool amount is to be allocated to the target.

Basis Exceptions Page

ALLOC_BASISX

Enter basis exceptions for ranges of values.

See the Define Allocation Step - Basis Page.

Define Allocation Step - Target Page

ALLOC_TARGET

Define the destination for the allocation or the target record (journal or any table) and target field values.

Define Allocation Step - Offset Page

ALLOC_OFFSET

Define the offset entry that balances the target. Offset usually reflects the clearing of pool amounts as they are transferred to the targets. However, if the target record is not a balanced ledger, such as a budget ledger, there is usually no offset.

Define Allocation Step - Output Options Page

ALLOC_OUT_JRL_OPTN

Define journal options if the target or offset record is journals, or define the Table Output Option if the target or offset record is table.

Define Allocation Step - Round Options Page

ALLOC_ROUND_OPTN

Define the method for rounding the allocation amount and distributing odd cents. This option is valid for only these allocation types: Spread Evenly, Allocate of Fixed Basis, and Prorata with Record Basis.

Define Allocation Step - Batch Records Page

ALLOC_RECNAME

Specify the batch temporary tables that are used in the PeopleSoft Allocations process.

Define Allocation Step - Amount Fields Page

Define the amount field mapping between the pool, basis, target, and offset records.
