Create Period Allocation Information

Explanation

Use this activity to create periodic allocation information per voucher line. The voucher must be created on the New Voucher assistant before you can enter accrual information. The updating routine creates a voucher for each specified period. If the source voucher's period is included in the allocated period range, a voucher can be created for the base period as well. The parameters specified in the GL Update Parameters page will determine whether or not a voucher will be created for the base period. The posting type GP2 (Accrued cost) controls the account to be used as a contra account.

Select the desired voucher line for period allocation in View Voucher Rows tab on Voucher page and click Period Allocation to open the Period Allocation dialog.
