ACCOUNT DISTRIBUTION

Use this subtask to distribute the requisition line charge to single or multiple project/account/organization combinations. This is a required subtask for most requisition lines.

This subtask is not required for a new requisition line if you entered an inventory abbreviation for that line, or if you entered project, account, and organization information in the default screen.

This information is loaded into every new PO line created from this requisition line. The system will use the allocation percentages to allocate the PO line dollar costs if they differ from the requisition line amounts.

You must use this subtask whenever you add a requisition line to the requisition and maintain it when you need to change that requisition line account allocation.
