General Ledger Maintenance - Sub Allocations tab

Modified on Mon, 20 Apr at 12:03 AM

Use the Sub Allocations tab to maintain sub-allocations at your organisation.
Sub-allocations:

Are mainly used for reporting purposes. For example, you can keep track of all costs relating to specific projects.
Identify expenses that you do not need to budget for at the general ledger level. For example a school camp.
Can be allocated to several accounts.

As an example, you might have a budget for maintenance. Within the maintenance budget you identify the area of expense, such as plumbing, electrical, general and so on. There is no budget at this sub-allocation level, it is only used for reporting purposes. Reports can optionally show sub-allocations. The report GLJNLSUB displays a general ledger journal listing by sub-allocation.
