Scenario Example: Defining Static Allocations Based on Allocation Ratio
Static allocation method is based on a definite value, such as square meters used, or an established allocation ratio such as 5:2:4.
This topic describes how to define three new allocation target cost objects for the allocation source PROD cost center using the established allocation ratio 5:2:4. The three target cost objects are ACCESSO, PAINT, and FITTINGS.
Note
The example uses the demo data in the CRONUS International Ltd. demonstration database.
To define the allocation source PROD cost center on the General FastTab
In the Search box, enter Cost Allocation, and then choose the related link.
In the Cost Allocation window, on the Home tab, in the New group, choose New.
In the ID field, press Enter or enter an ID.
In the Level field, enter 1.
In the Valid From and Valid To fields, enter appropriate dates.
In the Cost Center Code field, enter PROD.
In the Credit to Cost Type field, enter the cost type 9903.
To define the allocation target cost objects on the Lines FastTab
On the first line, in the Target Cost Type field, enter 9903.
On the first line, in the Target Cost Object field, select ACCESSO.
On the first line, in the Allocation Target Type field, select All Costs to define how all accrued costs are allocated.
On the first line, in the Base field, select Static to use the static allocation method.
On the first line, in the Share field, enter the allocation ratio 5.
On the second line, in the Target Cost Type field, enter 9903.
On the second line, in the Target Cost Object field, select PAINT.
On the second line, in the Allocation Target Type field, select All Costs to define how all accrued costs are allocated.
On the second line, in the Base field, select Static to use the static allocation method.
On the second line, in the Share field, enter the allocation ratio 2.
On the third line, in the Target Cost Type field, enter 9903.
On the third line, in the Target Cost Object field, select FITTINGS.
On the third line, in the Allocation Target Type field, select All Costs to define how all accrued costs are allocated.
On the third line, in the Base field, select Static to use the static allocation method.
On the third line, in the Share field, enter the allocation ratio 4.
Important
Microsoft Dynamics NAV automatically calculates the Percent field using a percentage rate that is dependent on all three allocation ratios that are entered in the Share field for all three lines.
