Allocation Process

Cost is allocated during the cost processing. Cost line items are filtered by allocation rules in order of priority and are associated with a context path. Once allocated the line item is not considered for any other context.

Priority

Allocation rules are evaluated starting with the lowest priority first and then to highest priority. A blank priority means that it has the highest priority and will be evaluated last.

Creating a Hierarchy/Rule

The name of the rule will be seen in Yotascale’s hierarchy. A rule and priority can be blank.
