Key tips and tricks for MAS200 and MAS 90

Setting Up Allocations for MAS 200 or MAS90

Did you know that you can automatically distribute overhead such as rent and electric- ity to your various departments? Automated allocations are a great way to save time over manual journal entries. Here are step-by-step instructions:
1. Open GL/Main/Allocation Entry.
2. Click the Next Entry Number (#) button for the Allocation No. field.
3. To copy an existing allocation entry, and make any necessary modifications, click the Copy button.
4. Type the description of the allocation in the Description field.
5. Click the Lookup button for the Source Account field and select the general ledger account number.
6. In the Allocation Method drop-down box, select the calculation method to use for
the allocation.
7. If Basis was selected as the allocation method, in the Allocation Basis drop- down box, select the basis to use. If Budget method was selected, select the budget code.
8. In the Allocation Cycle drop-down box, select whether the allocation cycle is to be automatically selected for posting at the end of each period, quarter, or fiscal year, or manually posted.
9. In the Amount to Allocate drop-down box, select the type of amount to allocate.
10. If Manual is selected, enter the amount of the manual allocation in the Manual Amount field.
Note: if a manual amount that is greater than the balance of the source account is entered, it creates an over-allocation.
11. Enter the Journal Comment field, if necessary.
12. Click the Lines tab.
13. Click the Lookup button for the
Account No. field and enter a destination account number for the distribution. Asterisks (*) and at signs (@) can be used to create account masks.
