The Application Parameter (APPCTRL) page is one that is part of general system configuration. Options are set once and do not vary by year, fund, department, transaction, or other factors. The page is very generic in its design so that it can host many different types of options with the Parameter Name and Parameter Value fields. Of the controls available, those listed below directly relate to the Cost Allocation area.
Note: Any changes to records on this table should be followed by a bounce of all servers used for Advantage Financial.

Description |
Cost Allocation Last Run Date (CST_ALLOC_LAST_RUN_DT) |
The Parameter Value is updated with the Application Date (APPL_SYS_DT) each time the Cost Allocation Chain with Supp.Rpt job is run. This parameter serves as a timestamp to determine the age of data on the tables populated by the process as they do not have online pages. |
Although outside of the Cost Allocation set of reference pages, Posting Code (PSCD) is an important input to the process. The Cost Allocation Process field has four values that are matched to setup on the Cost Allocation Control Setup (ALOC) page for record selection: Cash Expenditures, Collected Revenue, Revenue Credits, and Charges. With each choice, there is the opportunity to narrow the group of posting codes by using the Refined Posting Code Listing field available on Cost Allocation Process Parameters (CAPA).
