MANAGE MULTI-JOB ALLOCATION COST HISTORY

Use this screen to track the historical costs of the Multi-Job Allocation. These costs are used in the calculation of the Multi-Job Allocation entry to arrive at the current amount to post. This screen is updated during the calculation of the Multi-Job Allocation entry. You can modify only the history of allocation codes that were generated as the result of the Create Multi-Job Allocation Entries process; you cannot enter new allocation codes.

You can create the multi-job allocation entry on a period or year-to-date basis only. If you are initializing Costpoint at the beginning of the fiscal year, you do not need to initialize this screen. Also, if you are initializing Costpoint during the fiscal year and did not use a similar function in your previous system, you do not need to initialize this screen. If you are initializing Costpoint during the fiscal year and require the historical cost to properly create the multi-job allocation entry, first create the multi-job allocation entry. This populates this screen with the historical information for the entire period or year-to-date, depending on your allocation basis. You can then modify the existing lines or add new lines to reflect the historical allocation amounts. Be sure to delete the original multi-job allocation journal entry that was used to populate this screen before re-computing the entry.

The data in this table is automatically populated by the Create Multi-Job Allocation Entries process. You usually do not have to enter data into this table. Enter data only if you are initializing in the middle of the fiscal year and have had a similar type of allocation in your previous system. If you are using this type of allocation for the first time, the Create Multi-Job Allocation Entries process automatically computes the year-to-date amounts needed for the allocation.
