It often happens that several analytical allocations correspond to one accounting allocation. In that case, the "distribution" enables an amount entered to the general ledger to be distributed onto several analytical dimensions.

When the distribution terms are used on a regular basis, they can be saved by means of the setup of the budget weighting codes that can be recalled at any moment during entry.

Screen management

Entry screen

Dimension views

The Dimension views block is used to define the dimension views onto which the allocation will take place.

Reports

By default, the following reports are associated with this function :

  LISDSP : Analytical allocation list

This can be changed using a different setup.

Error messages

In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

 
Mandatory field

It is mandatory that this field be completed by the user.

Dimension reserved to site XXX

The dimension has been set up with a limited access to the specified site. The "Selection" function should be used to look for another dimension or the "analytical dimensions" function, to directly access the analytical dimension setup.

Dimension XXX cannot be posted

The dimension has been set up as unable to be posted on entry. The "Selection" function should be used to look for a dimension that can be posted or the "analytical dimensions" function, to directly access the analytical dimension setup.

XXX prohibited with dimension YYY

The entered dimension has been given a prohibit code that prevents it from being combined with one or more other dimensions of the key. The "Selection" function should be used to look for another dimension or the "analytical dimensions" function, to directly access the analytical dimension setup.

Dimension mandatory for dimension view XXX

In the general parameters of the folder, it has been specified that the posting was mandatory on the dimension view concerned. The "Selection" function should be used to look for an existing code or the "analytical dimensions" function, to directly access the analytical dimension setup.

The sum of the coefficients must not be equal to zero.

The calculation of the amount to be distributed is carried out using a rule of three. A control is carried out on the denominator (it must be different from zero). Therefore the coefficients need to be corrected.

Incorrect date

This message can be displayed for instance if the validity end date is earlier than the validity start date.
