Sometimes it is not possible to assign an investment measure or an appropriation request clearly to a single program position. Therefore, the system allows you to assign one investment measure or appropriation request to multiple program positions. You use percentages to determine how the distribution is made. You enter these distribution percentage rates in the master record of the object (for measures choose Investments, for appropriation requests choose Organizational units). Make sure these percentage rates always total to 100%.

In standard reports, an investment measure that is assigned to multiple program positions appears under each of the positions to which it is assigned. The system displays the budget, plan and actual values for the investment measure broken down according to the percentage rates used to assign it.

Multiple assignment is not limited just to different program positions in one investment program. You can assign an investment measure to program positions in several different investment programs. However, these investment programs must all be in the same approval year. For example, you cannot assign an investment measure to a program position in investment program INVEST/1998 and to investment program INVEST/1999 at the same time.
