Ledger allocation using same dimensions as source postings

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by howalker 1,212

Is it possible to instruct AX General Ledger allocation process to allocate to the destination using the same financial dimensions as the source posting?  For example, I want to allocate from [company 1 account X] to [company 2 account Y and company 3 account Y] using the same financial dimensions as the source postings?  I want the business unit and department to remain the same on the destination posting as was on the source posting.   I have looked all over the 2012 CU6 config and don't see a way to do it.  Is there a way?

    Hello Howard Walker,

    Have you tried setting up the GL ledger allocation rules?

    Those rules allow you doing allocations across companies.

    If your financial dimensions that you want to use for the allocation are active in all companies, you can achieve what you describe above.

    Here is an example from a contoso demo system:

    Would be great if you could test and let us know if this resolves your issue.

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Yes, I have.  The legal entities I can handle.  I don't want to code the financial dimensions in to the allocation rules because there will be many rules and the actual postings will vary from month to month.  I want to use the same financial dimensions as whatever is posted.   I suspect my answer is no, there isn't a way to do this.

    Hello Howard,

    I think you are right as using the same financial dimensions as whatever is posted would require that all of your companies are setup with identical account structures and financial dimensions. This necessitates that you only use global but no local financial dimensions.  

    Yet, if the allocation feature does not fit your requirements, have you thought about using the Excel add-in to prepare the allocations that can be uploaded and posted thereafter?

    Using the Excel add-in is technically an option, but since it's a manual process, it will be frowned upon.  :-)
