The apportionment groups file is a configuration tool that enables you to structure the entities that  are used to make up an off-line assembly of apportionment files.

When enabling the user to structure the origin and destination groups of accounting entities by dividing them per type (accounting entity, cost center, accounting item and value class), it makes a tool for off-line apportionment files maintenance available. It intervenes in the group files and this intervention is automatically replicated to the associated apportionments.

In environments in which the off-line apportionments are used as tools in the composition of managerial and operational costs, this tool becomes particularly important as it enables the usage of accounting statistics indexes associated to the accounting entities to which the apportionment group is formed. 

An apportionment group is only used in the generation and updating of  off-line apportionment file, if it is associated with other groups and file additional information and configuration by the binding file of the off-line apportionment groups.

The purpose of this routine is enabling the pre definition of entities that are used in the arrangement of off-line apportionment files.

Requirements

To access the off-line apportionments in the off-line apportionment file items, you must:

• At least, create a apportionment group file type Origin.
• At least, create a apportionment group file type Destination.
• Associate the origin and destination apportionment groups by using an apportionment groups binding file.

Apportionment Percentage: This field has two implications, depending on the entered group type:

1 – Origin - the entity percentage is used as base percentage of the off-line apportionment file.

For this field, the matching of percentages is not performed, therefore, the smaller accounting entity percentage used in the origin groups matching is kept.

2– Destination - the entity percentage is used as the detail row percentage of the off-line apportionments file.

This percentage is subject to matching rule established in this functionality definition.

Index Factor: field available only for apportionment groups Destination type, and it defines the factor of the off-line apportionment file detail rows.

This factor is subject to matching rule established in this functionality definition.

Factor Formula: field available only for apportionment groups Destination type, and it defines the factor to the off-line apportionment file detail rows, when the updating is performed through Recalculate Formulas  or through functionality Update Factor.

3. Fill out the fields according to the field help instructions.
