Job Allocation Combinations Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Job Allocation Combinations tab.

Job Allocation Island

Field	Description
Name	In this field, you can enter the name of the current compilation of allocation rules. Maconomy checks that the specified allocation rule already exists. The name will thus act as a unique identification of the individual allocation combination, and it is therefore advisable to use the search function in the Find menu when an already existing combination is required.
Verify Combinations	In this field, you can define whether or not it should only be possible to enter information on the combinations of activities, specifications, and tasks specified in the table part of the window. If you mark this field, you can only enter information in, for example, a job journal in accordance with the information specified on the lines of the job allocation combination rule assigned to the job in question. Note that this field is closely linked to the field “Verify Combinations” in the table part of the window. If you have marked this field, you can mark the field “Verify Combinations” on one or more lines in the table part of the window. In this way, you can define that only some of the lines in the table part should be verified by Maconomy when registering entries on a job assigned to the job allocation combination rule in question, whereas other lines with other combinations should not be verified. Marking this field thus activates the selections made in the table part of this window. If you do not mark this field, all combinations will be allowed. Define fixed price combinations By marking this field, you define whether certain job allocation combinations specified in the table part of the window should be excluded from the fixed price of a job. If you mark this field, you can mark the field “Not Included in Fixed Price” on one or more lines in the table part of the window thus excluding entries related to combinations on the marked lines from the fixed price of a given job assigned to the job allocation combination rule in question. This functionality applies to both fixed price jobs and to those time and material jobs which have been set up to handle overruns or to recognize revenue by completion percentage. See the description of the window Job Parameters for information about setting up jobs with the desired parameters. Note that if you remove the mark in this field, all marks, if any, in the field “Not Included in Fixed Price” on the lines in the table part are automatically removed by Maconomy.

Registration Control Island

Field	Description
Location	In these fields, you can specify whether it is allowed or required to manually enter a value for the dimension Location. In the column “Allowed,” you can specify that it is possible to enter a value for the dimension Location in manually entered entries to jobs assigned to the current allocation combination rule. If you do not mark the field, the dimension must be derived, and Maconomy will reject the manual specification of a value for the dimension Location. In the column “Required,” you can specify that it is mandatory to manually enter a value for the dimension Location in entries to jobs assigned to the current allocation combination rule. If you mark the field, you must manually enter a value in the field “Location” on registration lines, as dimension derivation is not allowed. When you mark this field, the field “Allowed” is automatically marked too. See the chapter “Introduction to the G/L Module” and the window Dimension Derivations for a further description of dimension derivation.
