Short Description
The Internal Allocations module enables a user to generate, verify, post and store inter-business unit (also inter-company) accounting transactions based on already available data in Dataloy VMS to Accounting. In Accounting, the transactions (or internal allocations) are used to adjust the periodisation of cost, revenue and profit/loss for business units (and company when applicable). The module is part of the Period-End-Closing process in Dataloy VMS – please read the Period-End-Closing process prior to utilising the Internal Allocations module.
Internal Allocations are used by companies that have internal markets and agreements requiring allocations between business units. The Internal Allocations module automatically checks all relevant voyage estimates for Internal Relets and Profit Sharing contracts between units. For each relationship between units a revenue and cost transaction is created periodically for each voyage and/or contract until the activities are completed. An internal allocation record (or transaction) can be defined as a prorated internal allocation amount for each voyage/business unit/company combination.
The module consists of three sections:
- Pending:
- Displays generated internal allocations (including reversals) pending posting to an accounting system.
- Ready For Posting:
- Displays internal allocations in queue to be posted to an accounting system.
- Posted:
- Stores posted internal allocations.
Once generated, the module displays the transactions (as per set parameters) pending posting to an accounting system. Internal allocations will only be generated for open voyages and each will have a document date equalising the last day of the period the allocations were generated for. A reversal record for each internal allocation with a document date equal to the first day of the next period is also listed.
