This is a part of the Preset Allocation feature. Click here to learn more about Preset Allocations.


A Preset Allocation is a template that defines the GL Accounts and their assigned Locations as well as the percentage of the transaction amount that should be allocated to each. Any number of Preset Allocations can be built out and updated as needed over time. 


Once Preset Allocations are created, they can be put in use from the transaction form. If a Preset Allocation is no longer needed, it can either be deleted or temporarily marked as 'Inactive' so that it is not included on the transaction form. Click here to learn how to mark a Preset Allocation as 'Inactive'.


Create a Preset Allocation



Create a Preset Allocation by navigating to the Preset Allocations page and clicking the '+ New Allocation' button in the top, right corner of the Preset Allocations page. This will open the 'New Preset Allocations' modal.


Edit a Preset Allocation


Preset Allocations can have its details updated at any time. To do so, navigate to the Preset Allocations page and click into the desired Preset Allocation. This will open a sidesheet of the Allocation's details, which can then be updated and saved.


 

When Preset Allocations are initially created and saved, a Context Menu will be added to the top ribbon where two additional actions can be completed when viewing an Allocation's record:

  • Duplicate Allocation - This will duplicate the record and include a 'Copy Of' note before the name of the Allocation on the Preset Allocations page. If any changes were made before this option is selected, then the Allocation will first save the changes and then duplicate the record
  • Delete - This will delete the Allocation. Preset Allocations can also be deleted in bulk from the Preset Allocations page
