Usage Scenarios

The Allocation ID's functionality is used to mark general ledger entries as reconciled. You can then use filters to view the reconciled or unreconciled entries for a period or account.

Assign an Allocation ID

To assign a new Allocation ID you need to select a group of General Ledger Entries that balance to zero. To do this select Show More Options (the three dots) next to the Posting Date column and then tick the entries to be included.

General Ledger Entries Updated with Allocation IDs

Note

The following checks are made before the Allocation ID on the lines are updated:
1. The sum of amounts on the selected lines must be zero.
2. The selected lines must not already have an allocation ID specified.

Remove an Allocation ID

To remove an Allocation ID, select a line with the allocation ID you want removed, then click the “Remove Allocation ID” button on the ribbon. This will remove the Allocation ID from that line and all other lines where that Allocation ID was used.
