to select, the starting allocation code
for the range you want to include. If you select All
or From Beginning in the Range
Option field, this field will be inactive.Use this screen to compute the Multi-Job Allocation journal entry, which allocates the costs of a project, or projects, to other projects. This enables you to use a project for cost accumulation and then allocate it similarly to a service center. You must set up the allocation in the Multi-Job Allocation Setup screen (Projects » Cost and Revenue Processing » Cost Pool Setup) before you execute this screen. You may also have to complete the Multi-Job Allocation Cost History screen (Projects » Cost and Revenue Processing » Cost Pool History) and the Multi-Job Allocation Labor History screen (Projects » Cost and Revenue Processing » Cost Pool History). Please refer to the documentation on these screens for additional instructions.
When completed, this process generates a separate multi-job allocation journal entry for each allocation code. You can then edit and post these entries in the usual way. Note that if you edit an allocation entry before posting, you should also make the change in the Multi-Job Allocation Cost History screen to ensure this table is correct for subsequent calculations.
Compute Multi-Job Allocation entries after entering and posting all the costs for the projects you want to allocate. You should also compute burden, even if you are allocating indirect costs, to ensure that the project tables are updated. After computing and posting this journal entry, compute burden for the receiving projects to ensure the allocated amounts are included in the revenue process.
