| Allocation Keys (tfcat4502m000) |  |
| Use this session to list and maintain allocation keys. 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. 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. The following restrictions apply: The sublevel of the destination ledger account and dimension must be zero The destination reference unit can only be left empty if no reference unit is linked to the destination dimension The account type of the destination ledger account must be profit and loss The allocation type of the destination ledger account must be secondary debit Periodic distribution percentage can only be given if the budget period and actual allocation relations are accessible. A distribution can only be entered for budget-year allocation relations. Related topics Allocation keys setup
Fields | Description
Allocation Rule Set | A set that offers various possibilities to build the allocation relation. You can build allocation relations by using allocation keys, default allocation relations or consumption rules.
Allocation Key | A key that specifies a set of dimensions and percentages, serving as destination for percentage allocation relations. The key can be applied for a defined allocation source, to create allocation relations.
Dimension Type | The dimension type to be debited.
Destination Dimension | The dimension to be debited.
Reference Unit | The reference unit of the debited dimension.
Percentage | The percentage of the budget or actual costs that must be debited from the destination dimension. Note The maximum allowed percentage is 100% fixed, 100% variable, and 100% total. In this, the cost categories must also be taken into account.
