In order to effect the allocation, you have to make various settings in Customizing. You make the settings in Customizing under Financial Accounting ® Special Purpose Ledger ® Periodic Processing ® Allocation.

You can choose between the Allocation Types "distribution" and "assessment". In this way, you determine how the allocation process is carried out.

You use Allocation Rules to determine how amounts and quantities should be allocated from sender object to receiver object. You can choose between various Sender Rules and Receiver Rules.

Processing of the data is effected using the Allocation Cycle. Within an allocation cycle, you can define allocation segments. You determine allocation rules in an Allocation Segment.

The header data of the allocation cycle contains information valid for all segments contained in the cycle. Both Iterative Processing of Allocation Cycles and Cumulative Processing of Allocation Cycles is possible. You can distribute or assess quantities and/or transaction currency amounts. You can define Selection Criteria and Rules for Selection Criteria. You determine the processing of the allocation cycle using Dimensions in Allocation.

You can lock individual segments in an allocation cycle so that they are not included in processing. See Locking Segments in an Allocation Cycle.

You can choose whether to execute allocation cycles in online mode or batch mode. See Executing Allocation Cycles. You can determine how the system handles errors that occur during processing. Click here for more information on errors.

Information is also available on Reversing Allocation Cycles and Deleting Allocation Line Items.
