Use this screen to track the historical costs of the multi-job allocation. These costs are used in the calculation of the multi-job allocation entry to arrive at the current amount to post. This screen is updated during the calculation of the multi-job allocation entry. You can change only the history of allocation codes that were generated as the result of the Compute Multi-Job Allocations screen process; you cannot enter new allocation codes.
You can compute the multi-job allocation entry on a period or year-to-date basis only. The following initializations steps may be necessary:
If you are initializing the system at the beginning of the fiscal year, you do not need to initialize this screen.
Also, if you are initializing the system during the fiscal year and did not use a similar function in your previous system, you do not need to initialize this screen.
If you are initializing the system during the fiscal year and require the historical cost to properly compute, you should first compute the multi-job allocation entry. This will populate this screen with the historical information for the entire period or year-to-date, depending on your allocation basis. You can then edit the existing lines or add new lines to reflect the historical allocation amounts. Be sure to delete the original multi-job allocation journal entry that was used to populate this screen before re-computing the entry.
Use Query to view the allocation code that you want to review.
Use Query to access the appropriate allocation code used in the Multi-Job Allocation Setup screen (Projects\Maintain\Allocations).
This non-editable field displays the functional currency of the database in which you are working.
This non-editable field displays the total amount allocated for this allocation code.
The data in this table is automatically populated by the Compute Multi-Job Allocations process. You will not usually have to enter data into this table. You should enter data only if you are initializing in the middle of the fiscal year and have had a similar type of allocation in your previous system. If you are using this type of allocation for the first time, the Compute Multi-Job Allocations process will automatically compute the year-to-date amounts needed for the allocation if you have selected the year-to-date allocation method in the Multi-Job Allocation Setup screen (Projects\Maintain\Allocations).
Enter, or use Lookup to select, a valid fiscal year.
Period *
Enter, or use Lookup to select, a valid period.
Enter, or use Lookup to select, a valid project that received an allocation amount.
Account *
Enter, or use Lookup to select, a valid debit account.
You should have designated this account as the debit account for this project/organization combination in the Multi-Job Allocation Setup screen (Projects\Maintain\Allocations). When the system calculates the multi-job allocation entry, it looks to the account entered here to arrive at the current amount to post.
Enter, or use Lookup to select, a valid organization.
You should have designated this organization as the debit organization for this project/organization combination in the Multi-Job Allocation Setup screen (Projects\Maintain\Allocations). When the system calculates the multi-job allocation entry, it looks to the organization entered here to arrive at the current amount to post.
Enter the amount previously allocated. This field will be updated after you compute multi-job allocations.
