         <Paragraph>An allocation key is a
		  scheme to create allocation relations automatically if the source of the
		  allocation relations is known. Cost allocation structures that concern the same
		  set of target dimensions often occur multiple times and must be maintained
		  manually. To create outgoing percentage-allocation relations of the same type
		  automatically, you can define an allocation key for the chosen allocation rule
		  set and generate the allocation relations accordingly.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>The allocation key
		  will be used to define percentage-allocation relations to a group of target
		  dimensions if the allocation structure occurs multiple times for different
		  source dimensions.</Paragraph>

            <ListItem>The account type of

            <ListItem>The allocation type of
			 the destination ledger account must be secondary debit</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Periodic distribution
			 percentage can only be given if the budget period and actual allocation
			 relations are accessible.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>A distribution can
