Source of Distribution Account

We are using Fixed allocations to allocate our operating expenses. I am reviewing a Trial balance - is there a field I can add to the trial balance that would indicate that the expense line item was sourced by an allocation?

Example - The Allocation account would be 61500-SAH-00 ... and it will be allocated to 61500-100-20, 61500-100-30, 61500-100-50 etc ... If I am looking at a trial balance for 61500-100-20 ONLY - how do I know that this expense is part of an allocated amount and not something that was directly coded to 100-20?

Is there ANY way that when you are trying to edit a report writer report - you can zoom in ?!?! It is so tiny it is so hard to read.

Mostly AP - We don't have AR in GP. And we JUST started using the allocations ... so I was not even sure if you could do a journal entry to an allocation account or not!

RE: Source of Distribution Account

Are you using the Fixed Allocation account in GL transactions only or also in AP or AR transactions?

RE: Source of Distribution Account

Are you using the Report Writer version of the GLTB or the SSRS version? If SSRS, you could add the GL00103 (Fixed Allocation Master) or GL00104 (Variable Allocation Master) to the SSRS report and grab a field value from either table. If Report Writer report, I think you could do the same thing, but I would want that verified by an RW guru, like Leslie Vail.
