PRINT SERVICE CENTER COST ALLOCATION REPORT

Use this screen to print, for a given service center, the cost in the service center, the amount allocated, the residual, the accounts that received the service center allocation, and the amount they received. The data for this report does not come directly from the Manage Allocation Journals screen; rather, it comes from a table created by the Compute/Print Pool Rates screen. This means that the service center you want to print must have been computed on the Compute/Print Pools Rates program before any information is available. Otherwise, the Print Allocation Journal Edit Report or the Print Service Center Setup Report are the only reports available.

Print this report after running the Compute/Print Pools Rates program and before posting the Allocation Journal.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
