Overview of Calculation Manager

The Calculation Manager creates, validates, deploys, and administers sophisticated allocation rules.

In the Calculation Manager:

Base formulas on multiple criteria, such as account balances or statistical amounts, to allocate shared revenue or costs across multiple organizational units.
Use complex computations based on different variables to automatically calculate allocated amounts.
Group journal formulas together and run sequentially to update account balances step by step.

There are three types of objects that can be created in Calculation Manager:

Components: Contain formulas, points of view, or allocation objects.
Rules: Contain components such as points of view, formulas, and templates, which are used to create allocation calculations.
Rule Sets: Contain rules that can be calculated sequentially.

Note: The following are limitations in Oracle General Ledger.

Allocation rules can't be shared across rule sets in Calculation Manager.
Within a rule or rule set, multiple rule components can't write to the same target or offset.
When generating allocation rules with runtime prompts other than the User Point of View in an allocation rule component, an error occurs.
Rule sets can contain only rules, not other rule sets.
