Syntax documentation*RUN_ALLOCATION Locate this document in the navigation structure

Often the driver of an allocation is a value such as Sales, SquareFootage, or Employees that you must compare with its total over a given region. For example, the allocation formula for LeaseCost might be the following:

Allocated LeaseCost = LeaseCost * SquareFootage / Total Square_Footage

You can derive the Total Square_Footage, which is the sum of SquareFootage across all entities, using the following sample allocation instruction:

Example Example

* RUN_ALLOCATION

*FACTOR USING/TOTAL

*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT= LeaseCost; WHERE=<<<; USING=

SquareFootage; TOTAL= <<<

*DIM ENTITY WHAT= GLOBALOPS; WHERE=>>>; USING=

>>>; TOTAL= BAS(ALL_ENTITIES)

*ENDALLOCATION

End of the example.
