5.3.1.3.9.7 Updating Instrument Tables from Transaction Summary Tables

After you have run your Allocation Rule to update the Cost Column in the Transaction Summary Table, run other Allocation Rules to aggregate costs to the Instrument level. You need one Allocation Rule for each instrument-level target column, but each of these aggregation allocations is structurally very similar. For example, to aggregate the costs associated with each of the ATM-related activity-based cost in your Transaction Summary Table, build a Static Driver Allocation Rule that uses the Transaction Summary Table's Cost Column as your Source, that multiplies by 1.00 in the Allocation Operator, and that debits the ATM Expense column in your target Instrument Table. The Source specification also utilizes the ATM Expense rollup point within your Activity Hierarchy. Each subsequent allocation would have the same structure but would vary its hierarchy rollup point filter in its Source specification and its Instrument Target column in its Debit specification.
