The Cost Allocation Settings form

Initially in the system, there are some predefined settings for allocating indirect and overhead costs that can be edited. In the list, the settings are shown with their specific parameters (Entity, Department, Account Type (section), Account, Expense / Income Item).

Generally, all settings with unique sets of parameters (different COA sections or different accounts selected from the section) are applicable during the same month-end closing. If multiple settings have the same parameters, the latest (with later period) will be actually used for allocation.

To add a new set of cost allocation settings, click the Create button on the toolbar. For more information, see[ Adding Cost Allocation Settings|21654291-cc0c-49f4-884f-372fae8a9c42].

As the list is populated, you can change its display settings. Click More actions on the toolbar and select Configure list. For more information on the list settings, see Work with the item list.
