ALLOCATION TERMS NOT WORKING WITH PURCHASE REQUISITIONS

We have accounts with allocation terms configured that are working well with journals, but when we use the same accounts using procuremente categories in a purchase requisition, the allocation is not working

For example, we have an allocation term that register well in a journal, distribution is correct.

The same ledger account is linked to a procurement category

We use the procurement category in a purchase order, but the allocation is not working, causing a register issue because this should be distributed same as in journals

If someone can give me a light about this issue would be very appreciated

Thanks a lot!

Hi Silvia.

Can you explain from what forms you shared screenshots? As you only shared grids using a non-English language, I'm not able to recognize them.

Do you have posted ledger transactions from the purchase requisition?

Hi André.

The first screenshot is a general ledger where the allocation term works and the voucher shows the distribution:

Then, we configure the same ledger with a procurement category so we can apply the same allocation with Purchase requisitions and Purchase Orders

Then, in a purchase requisition we insert the category and financial dimensions for the ledger, then review the "Distribute amounts" section where the allocation should be shown:

But as you can see, the allocation is not showing. For the process to continue correctly, the amount should be allocated in this form because the allocation term configured in the ledger account

If we continue the process until the invoice registration, the allocation will not show

I hope you have all the picture now.

Thanks for any explanaition on this issue

Hi Silvia,

in my opinion the issue is that the allocation terms work when a voucher is posted, only in that case the system takes into account the allocation terms. In the General journal you showed, is a posted voucher in which the allocation term was allocated.

The Purchase requisition is an internal document that does not post to the ledger (you can see the account but no voucher are genereated on the Purchase requisition), therefore allocation terms are not applied.

If you go on and transform the Purchase Requisition in a Purchase order with the category is not shown in the distribute amount of the line because it appers only with posting. The first time you can see it is at the moment of posting the Purchase Order pending Invoice with the category, you will have the allocation shown in the "Financials" tab, by clicking on "view accounting":

And then of course you will have it on the final voucher posted.

Hope it helps.
