Distribution Codes Example

Assume you have the following segment designations:

• Segment 1 - Fund
• Segment 2 - General Ledger
• Segment 3 - Division
• Segment 4 - Department

You want to enter a distribution code to distribute expenses to various departments within Fund 100, Division A, based upon square footage used by each Department. Using these requirements, enter the following:

Fund	Division	Department	Units
100	A	100	2,963
100	A	200	1,037
100	A	300	3,442

The resulting percentages are automatically calculated by the system. Once saved, this distribution can be invoked during any transaction entry process. At transaction entry time, you provide the amount and the general ledger account; then the system automatically creates the distribution entry.
