Linked structures for allocations

Therefore, the allowed combinations on the target company only partly correspond with the combinations on the source company. In such cases, where you can not book an amount with a specific extended dimension combination, the amount will be booked on the first valid dimension combination on the target account, in alphanumerical order.

Example

In this example, the allocation uses weight type By reference account and distribution method for extended dimensions According to Source. The value in a field implies that it is a valid value according to the linked structures.

Prerequisites

Table 1. Example, source company

Source or reference account	Buses	Cars	Trucks
Sweden		5	5
USA			5

Table 2. Example, target company

Reference account	Buses	Cars	Trucks
Sweden	1		1
USA	1		1

Table 3. Example, allocation

Data on target account	Buses	Cars	Trucks
Sweden	5		5
USA			5

There is a total of 15 in the source, on three combinations. On the reference account there are only two valid combinations compared to the source. The result is that only one dimension combination is valid. The amount that does not match a valid dimension combination in the source is booked on the first valid combination, which in this case is Buses, Sweden.
