Allocation ways in D365 FO

 When we say allocations of expenses through accounts and dimension, there are various ways that can be used in D365 FO. In this blog you can find these ways and their differences from one to another.


  1. Cost Accounting Module: If you do not need/require to post any transaction or you think that there will be too many transactions appear on voucher transactions, then you can use cost accounting module to report on your balances. This module works separate from the GL module. Data is transferred from GL module and you prepare your allocation rules in this module and do your reporting. also you can use this module for to report different versions.
  2. Allocation Rules: You can define allocation rules and within the period you want to use, system will allocate the balance to the relevant account and dimensions. The pros of this type is that, you can trigger and change the rules whenever you want to . The cons of this type is, you need to trigger each rule one by one, wait for the reporting after all the transactions are posted, balance of previous data can not be reported after the allocation. 
  3. Use Financial Dimension Templates: You can define dimension templates in the system and once selected on the transactions, due to the rule of the template, amounts are distributed.The cons of this type is that you need to select the scheme, before posting the transaction so you need to know how to allocate at the time of transaction entry.
  4. Reporting: You can use management reporter (MR/financial reporting) tool to generate reports and you can do grouping and calculations in your reports based on accounts and dimensions. For to generate these reports, you do not need assistance from IT.
  5. Accruals: Define accrual scheme and select this scheme before posting the transaction on the relevant transaction. The cons of this type is that you need to select the scheme, before posting the transaction so you need to know how to allocate at the time of transaction entry. 
  6. PO line allocation: Before posting a PO invoice, you can allocate the amounts by to use the functionality accounting distributions. The cons of this type is that you need to select the scheme, before posting the transaction so you need to know how to allocate at the time of transaction entry.
