I am looking to accomplish a bit of an allocation scenario using the allocation terms functionality set up on the ledger accounts. The scenario itself works fine, but there is one catch that I have not been able to fix.
In my scenario I have a couple allocations that set up on an account that move 100% of the amount to another account (the purpose of this is to manipulate financial dimensions in a specific way using also fixed dimension values on accounts).
My problem is that the allocation terms functionality always generates the allocation transaction which is a "black" credit to the account.
So for example if I hit the account where the allocation term is set up for 1000 US on debit side, the allocation rule will generate:
- one transaction for 1000 USD credit on the allocation account
- one transaction for 1000 USD debit on some target account
What I would prefer to have is to generate in the same scenario:
- one transaction for -1000 USD debit on the allocation account
- one transaction for -1000 USD credit on the target account
Obviously from balance perspective the result is the same, so some may view this as a minor issue, but the thing is that while balances are the same, the way standard functionality works artificially bloats the account turnovers, which is a bit of an inconvenience. There are some other D365 functionalities which have a toggle to decide whether crediting is on the same or opposite side of the account, but in this case I have not found such an option.
Would be grateful for pointers if I am missing something
Hi Stanislaw,
There is no standard feature which will treat the allocations as a "correction posting". You might consider a customization to be able to achieve it.
