Cost Allocation Series Setup

The Cost Allocation Series Setup (SRS) reference page defines each series within an allocation. A minimum of one series is required for each allocation and there is no limit to the number of series other than the complexity in establishing and maintaining the allocation. At this level the inheritance rules from the Allocation ID can be changed.

Fields already defined on an earlier reference page have been omitted.

Field Name	Description
Series ID	Each series must have a unique identifier defined for more detailed setup and for system processing.
Description	Each series should have a description that identifies what is being allocated within the series at a very high level.
Department	An optional field for the specification of the ‘owning’ department of an allocation as a means of securing allocation setup data. If entered for the parent Allocation ID, the value will default and cannot be changed.
(Inheritance Settings)	This set of chart of account (COA) settings is the second of three levels of definition for what COA codes will be used in the base expansion: Default - Indicates that what is set at the Allocation ID will apply and not be changed at this level. Pool - Indicates that records generated from base expansion will assume the same COA value of records generated from pool expansion. Base - Indicates that records generated from base expansion will take the value from the Base Accounting Distribution.
