Finalize Allocations

Finalize Allocations

  • Run allocations and review the pro forma allocation results. Complete any approval steps.
    If you have an allocation result that continues to have a status of pro forma, remove all the dependencies from the allocation group set and rerun the allocation.
  • Configure the
    Allocation Finalize Event
    and
    Allocation Finalize Intercompany Event
    business processes and security policies in the Financial Accounting functional area. Workday applies intercompany only to allocations resulting in a journal.
  • For allocations resulting in budget amendments, add the
    Initiate Budget Amendment Event
    service step to the
    Allocation Finalize Event
    business process and configure the
    Budget Amendment Event
    business process and security policy in the Budgets functional area.
  • Security:
    Process: Allocations
    domain in the Financial Accounting functional area.
By finalizing allocations, you can move:
  • Journals from pro forma to posted.
  • Budget amendments from draft to available.
You can rerun finalized allocations. When you rerun a finalized allocation Workday cancels the allocation and resets the status to
Pro Forma
.
When an allocation includes dependencies, finalize the dependencies first.
You can finalize a single allocation using the
Allocation Work Area
report.
