Ledger Allocation Journal keeps getting posted indefinitely

Posted on by Community member 6
I have created a dimension allocation rule where I split the amount on a GL account in a fixed percentage between 2 dimensions. First, I create & post a regular journal entry with the GL account and the 2 dimensions. 
 
Then I do the Process Allocation Request on the journal for the first time and the entries are posted according to the distributions correctly. 
 
Then I do the Process Allocation Request again without creating any journal beforehand, but the system still shows the same data and allows it to be posted again.  This can go on indefinitely. 
 
When it gets posted again, the Debit & Credit balances keep getting increased in the TB, though it maintains the correct ledger balance.
 
Why does this happen? Is there no restriction against it?

    Hi Friends,
     
    i am facing the same issue and if it is by Design from the Microsoft what can be the reason, as once the journal is allocated and posted, then why it is again considered in the next run, now consider if you have data of 2-3 years and the ledger account has a lot of entries recorded, as per standard on each run system will bring all the records and allocate the amount. 
     
    In my view voucher must be tagged if it is allocated and the allocation journal is posted to avoid bringing that in the next allocation request run.

    LEdger Allocation rules check the balance. O if the balance is jnot zero for the selected rule, then that keeps on running. System doesn't tag the ones that are selected as far as I remember.

    Hi,
     
    If your source and destination account is same, then at the time allocation, system is posting into the the same ledger, by design system is considering the entry as new entry and allowing you to create allocation once again.
     
    This is by design.
