 Entering Transfer Price Allocations

Use

The transfer price allocation is the means by which you allocate the amounts in the transfer price agreement. You enter an allocation amount for an item in a transfer price agreement.

You can:

  • Determine the allocation amount manually

  • Choose Propose a mount to have the system determine the amount for you

The system calculates the amount by comparing the amount in the agreement with the amount already allocated and proposing the difference as the allocation amount.

Note that the amount allocated may exceed the amount in the transfer price agreement.
