The following table provides details that you can use to ensure that the system is configured properly for the running of allocations.
| Form | Things to Check | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form | Make sure that the Standard Financials and General Ledger Allocation Templates (under Advanced Financials) features have been enabled. | |
| Multiple forms | Make sure that the minimum configuration of the company has been performed, as described in Company Without Branches: General Information, Company with Branches that Do Not Require Balancing: General Information, and Company with Branches that Require Balancing: General Information. | |
| Company Financial Calendar (GL201100) form | Be sure that the financial periods for which allocations will be run have a status of Open. | You can generate the necessary periods on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) form. |
| Allocations (GL204500) form | Make sure that the allocations that are going to be run have been created. For details, see Allocation Rules: To Create an Allocation Rule That Uses a Fixed Ratio (Weight), Allocation Rules: To Create an Allocation Rule That Uses a Fixed Ratio (Percentage), Allocation Rules: To Create an Allocation Rule That Uses a Dynamic Ratio of the Period-to-Date Account Balances, and Allocation Rules: To Create an Allocation Rule Based on Budget Data. | The system behavior when generating transactions that update the destination accounts depends on whether the Allocate Source Accounts Separately check box is selected on the Allocation tab. For the listed allocation rules, the Allocate Source Accounts Separately check box is cleared. |
