To enable cost allocations and components for a new or existing project in Portfolio Financials.
Background
Cost Allocations allow you to allocate budgets, holds, contracts, programme items and variations to sub-projects called components using percentage-based allocation rules. Each component acts as a sub-project to which you can allocate and track costs. Budgets, holds, contracts, programme items and variations can all be assigned to components based on the percentage-based logic of the allocation rules assigned to them.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- 'Full Access' to the project or higher.
- Additional Information:
- Important! After a component is added, the Allocations feature cannot be disabled for the project and the component cannot be deleted.
