Allocations Management
Do you need to perform complex allocations
of indirect costs by grantors? Do you have multiple funding
sources' investments pooled for higher return requiring
interest-earned allocations? The Allocations Management
module performs your complicated allocations with the
click of a button. Calculate, review, and generate allocation
entries using a flexible, easy-to understand toolset
offered within your accounting system.

| Powerful Allocation
Entry Features : |
 |
Flexible allocation options—Allocate
direct costs, indirect costs, interest earned,
dividends, and more. The Allocations Management
module lets you tailor allocations to fit your
needs through flexible setup options. You can
perform allocations on virtually any account
balance at the program level, department level,
grant level, and more. |
|
Save time and effort—Skip the spreadsheet
and perform allocations directly within your
accounting software. Set up your allocations
only once and use them as often as you need,
ensuring accuracy and consistency. |
|
Easy to use—Establish allocation codes
to set the calculation parameters you need. Generate
allocation calculations that create general ledger
entries. Even build sequential allocations within
a single calculation. |
|
Advanced calculation options—Perform allocations
based on fixed percentages, unit measures such
as square footage and number of employees, fixed
dollar amounts, indirect cost rates or dynamic
percentages such as relative account balances,
weighted average daily balance, and more. Perform
allocations based on actual or budget amounts
for any date range. |
|
Ensure compliance with OMB Cost Principles—Use
the powerful calculation options available in
the Allocations Management module to distribute
costs to federal grants with accuracy and consistency.
Perform as many allocations as needed as often
as required to comply. |
|
Prevent over-charging grantors—Limit allocations
to avoid exceeding contractual indirect cost
limits. |
|
Compliments the entry distribution feature—Apply
preset allocations during transaction entry through
Distribution Codes. You can easily move balances
after the fact if you apply allocations at month-end,
if advanced calculation options are required,
or if you use another application such as a point-of-sale
or fundraising package. |

| |
| Advanced Reporting
Options: |
|
Check the accuracy of your allocation
calculation—Allocations Management includes
a host of reports that allow you to view the
impact of the allocation prior to accepting it. |
|
View the calculation details—Run a comprehensive
calculation register directly from the calculation
screen to trace the steps performed within your
allocation. Provides a comprehensive audit trail
to support your allocation basis. |
|
Retain source balances—Need pre-allocation
and post-allocation reports for your auditors?
Allocations Management allows you to retain source
balances so that you can generate the reports
you need. |
|
History automatically maintained—General
Ledger entries generated by the Allocations Management
module can easily be recalled for review, making
audit reports a snap. |
