General Ledger Allocation Cycle

Prior to the allocation process at period end of profit centers or segments that cannot be allocated, shared costs are accumulated during the period on those profit centers or segments. These costs must be allocated on predetermined criteria to allocable segments, or the reposting of the profit center for adjustment. You distribute the costs from profit centers (assigned to segments that cannot be allocated) to profit center assigned to allocable segment under original general ledger accounts. The distribution cycles must be configured.
