      <Paragraph>To automatically create
		outgoing percentage allocation relations of the same type, you can define an
		allocation key for the chosen allocation rule set and generate the respective
		allocation relations accordingly. If the allocation structure occurs multiple
		times for different source dimensions, use an allocation key to define
		percentage allocation relations to a group of destination dimensions.</Paragraph>
      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>To set up allocation keys, take the following steps:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/cat/tfcat4105m000" role="session">Allocation Key Names (tfcat4105m000)</GUIRef> session, create the allocation key names.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/cat/tfcat4502m000" role="session">Allocation Keys (tfcat4502m000)</GUIRef> session, set up multiple allocation keys for
		  allocation rule sets. You can insert cost categories that you create in Step 3.
		  In that case, choose distinct value portions.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/cat/tfcat0102m000" role="session">Cost Categories (tfcat0102m000)</GUIRef> session, create the required cost categories.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/cat/tfcat0103m000" role="session">Ledger Accounts by Cost Category (tfcat0103m000)</GUIRef> session, link ledger accounts to the
		  defined cost categories. Use the cost categories in the default allocation
		  relations.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Run the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/cat/tfcat4202s000" role="session">Generate Allocation Relations with Allocation Key (tfcat4202s000)</GUIRef> session to generate the
		  allocation relations for each allocation key in turn.</ListItem>
