Allocation is the process of distributing costs and revenues to the appropriate accounts, sub-accounts, cost centers, and projects. Use the Allocation function to identify types of cost and automatically distribute them to the correct cost targets.

The GL Allocation Batch Create (25.3.22.6) and Allocation Batch Run Execute (25.13.9) activities let you create and run batches of allocations that you have previously defined. See Financial Allocations for information on how to set up allocations.

The Budget daemon should be active when allocations are run because the allocation functionality uses the same tables. The Budget daemon ensures that the most current values are available for an allocation run. For information about daemons and their administration, see QAD System Administration User Guide.
