Financial Allocations can be added to your GL Template to represent complex account structures in your Journal Report. Setting up Financial Allocations allows you to allocate Agreements to different business units, cost centres, or departments - the choice is yours!

Creating Financial Allocations 

Before you can apply Financial Allocations to your Agreements you need to define the Financial Allocation group/s and create each different allocation that exists.

To set up Financial Allocations:

  1. Navigate to the Settings Console 
  1. Click Financial Allocations
  1. Click Add new group
  1. Enter the Name of your Financial Allocation group and click Save
  1. To create specific allocations, click View next to the Allocation Group you just created 
  1. Click Add new to create a specific allocation 
  1. Enter a name for your allocation in the Description field, enter a Code, then click Save
  1. Create and add as many Financial Allocations as you need by repeating steps 3-7 above 
  1. Once you're finished click Hide to collapse the allocation group. If you want to edit a group later, simply click View to expand it again

Linking your Financial Allocations to your GL Template

After you've set up your Financial Allocations, you'll need to link them to your GL Template and apply them to your Agreements in Nomos One.

Applying your Financial Allocation to your Agreement

The next step is to apply your Financial Allocation/s to each Agreement. Once Agreements are linked with this information, the specific allocations you've assigned will pull through for each Agreement on the Journal Report.

To apply your Financial Allocations to Agreements:

  1. Navigate to the Agreement you'd like to apply the Financial Allocations to
  1. Click Action > Repair Data
  1. Navigate to the Other page of the Agreement Wizard
  1. Under Select Allocations, click Add new financial allocation
  1. Use the drop down bar to select a Financial Allocation group, then click Select
  1. Tick the allocation(s) applicable to your chosen Agreement, then click Apply Sub Groups to Agreement
  1. Click Edit on the Sub Group(s) and enter in the percentage allocated to each before clicking Update. The total percentage must add up to 100%
  1. Click Done on the Agreement Wizard to save your change
  1. Generate your Journal Report. You should see the specific Financial Allocations reflected in your Report for each Agreement you've applied them to
