If it is impossible to post a Project Cost Allocation document or find descripancy in cost allocation, please, check the settings according to the list:

1. Missing or negative factors used.

When cost allocation is executed according to proportion coefficients on direct expenses or project revenue some projects might have missing or even negative coefficients factors. It is due to absent or negative direct costs or revenure amount related to the particular projects. 

Solution: Remove lines with absent factors.

2. Expense amount is too small   

When the total amount of expenses is insignificant and costs are distributed among various projects, the allocated cost reduced to zero.  

Solution: Delete lines where cost amounts are missing. 

3. Allocated costs not equal to expenses of the Sources tab due to manual or wrong allocation 

The allocated amount must be equal to the Sources tab. You might need to uncheck the box Show Allocation Results Only for the Selected Row in order to see the discripancy.

3.1 The amount is doubled up

Solution: Remove all lines with <Not related to projects>.

3.2. Manual allocation took place.

Solution: Find the source of discripancy by checking the box Show Allocation Results and make sure that the amount on the Sources tab, the Allocation Sources and the sum of Allocation Results are equal.

4. Negative costs in the Sources tab 

4.1. Negative cost amount comes from the canceled costs associated with the revoked project.  

Solution: Unpost the document with canceled costs and post it again after finishing the сurrent cost allocation 

4.2. Negative cost amount comes from the previous allocated costs if expense items have been already chosen in another Project Cost Allocation document but the document of accrual have been unposted

Solution: Check a document of the expense aaccrual

4.3. Negative cost amount comes from the mismatch between the Source tab, the allocation figures 

If expenses for allocation have been deducted but the amount of deducted expenses are higher than aссrued expenses, the negative amount for allocation appears in the Sources tab.

Solution: If the amount of deducted costs must be taken into account for project allocation, add manually negative amounts to the Allocation Sources section and the program will allocate them according to the proportion coefficients.
