Allocate recurring costs and income

  • 아티클

You can allocate an entry in a recurring general journal to several accounts when you post the journal. To learn more about recurring general journals, go to Work with recurring journals.

The following allocation methods are available:

  • Quantity
  • Percentage (%)
  • Amount

The allocation features work with recurring general journals and in fixed asset journals.

The following procedures describe how to prepare to allocate costs in a recurring general journal by defining allocation keys. When allocation keys are defined, you complete and post the journal like any other recurring general journal. For more information, see Work with General Journals.

Important

Allocation Accounts aren't supported in recurring journals. While the Allocation Account option is available in the Account Type field on the lines of the journal, this option isn't supported. Instead, use the allocations feature as described in this article.

If you defined allocation accounts in a previous version of Business Central, update the setup to use allocations.

To set up allocation keys

You can allocate an entry in a recurring general journal to several different accounts when you post the journal. The allocation can be a quantity, percentage, or amount.

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter Recurring General Journals, and then choose the related link.
  2. Choose the Batch Name field to open the General Journal Batches page.
  3. You can either modify allocations on an existing batch in the list or create a new batch with allocations.
    • To create a new batch, choose the New action, and go to the next step.
    • To change the allocations of an existing journal, select the journal and go to step 7.
  4. In the Name field, enter a name for the batch, such as CLEANING. In the Description field, enter a description, such as Cleaning Expenses Journal.
  5. When you're done, close the page. A new, empty recurring journal opens.
  6. Fill in the fields on the line.
  7. Choose the Allocations action.
  8. Add a line for each allocation. You must fill in either the Allocation %, Allocation Quantity, or Amount field. You must also fill in the Account No. field and, if you're allocating the transaction among global dimensions, the global dimension fields.
  9. If you enter a percentage on a line, the amount in the Amount field is calculated automatically. These amounts have the opposite sign from the total amount in the Amount field in the recurring journal.
  10. After entering the allocations lines, choose OK to return to the Recurring General Journal page. The Allocated Amt. (USD) field is filled in and matches the Amount field.
  11. Post the journal.

To change an allocation key that is already set up

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter Recurring General Journals, and then choose the related link.
  2. On the Recurring General Journals page, select the journal with the allocation.
  3. Choose the line with the allocation, and then choose the Allocations action.
  4. Change the relevant fields, and then choose OK.
