The allocation process

The process includes the following steps:

• Activate the allocation by selecting Active for the automatic journal code EALC in Maintain > Configuration > Automatic Journals > Define.
• Define allocation details in Maintain > Configuration > Automatic Journals > Control Tables > Allocations. Here you specify such details as:
  • Source
  • Target
  • Weight method
  • Journal number
  • Group/local name
  • Offset account
  • Closing versions
  • Journal types
  • The allocation is active
  • If bookings in the general configuration should be created or not

  For more information, see Defining allocations.

• Create jobs, consisting of one or more different allocations, in Maintain > Jobs > Define. These jobs can be used when you run the allocation in consolidation by steps or when you want to connect it to a specific consolidation type. The execution order is based on the job order in the job definition. For more information, see Jobs and mapping tables.
• In Maintain > Jobs > Mapping Table, you define the jobs that are default for different combinations of consolidation types and actualities. For more information, see Jobs and mapping tables
• Execute the allocation, either in a consolidation with status or by steps. You can schedule an allocation job as a batch job.
