GL Allocation Batch Run
By default, the system runs all selected lines in the GL Allocation Batch Run Execute screen, except when a batch has already run for the same target period. The system also keeps a log file of previously run allocations.
An allocation batch is run correctly if the figures it uses from the Budget module are valid. These figures are calculated by the Budget daemon. The system checks for unprocessed daemon records before running each allocation in the batch, and displays a warning when unprocessed records exist.
When an allocation batch is interrupted, you can restart the batch for the same GL period. All allocations already run are deselected to ensure that they are not re-run.
The result of an allocation is immediately posted. By using a transient layer daybook as target—the recommended approach—you can review the allocation postings, and correct or delete them as necessary. You then assign them to the official or management layer.
