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

1. Missing factors used.

When cost allocation is executed according to proportional coefficients on direct expenses or project revenue, some projects might have missing coefficients factors. It is due to absent direct costs or revenue amounts 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 is reduced to zero.  

Solution: Delete lines with missing cost amounts. 

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

The allocated amount must be equal to the Sources tab. 

3.1 The amount is doubled up

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

3.2. Manual allocation took place. 

You might need to check the box Show Allocation Results Only for the Selected Row in order to see the discripancy.

Solution: Find the source of discrepancy 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 previous allocated costs if expense items have already been chosen in another Project Cost Allocation document but the document of accrual has been unposed

Solution: Check the document of the expense accrual

4.2. Negative cost amount comes from the negative cost accrual 

If expenses accrual has been reversed but the amount of reversed expenses is higher than accrued expenses, the negative amount for allocation appears in the Sources tab.

Solution: If the amount of deducted costs still 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.
