Edit a transaction allocation definition

The best practice is to deactivate the current transaction allocation and create a new one. To save time, you can duplicate the original transaction allocation and then edit it. For more information, see Deactivate or delete transaction allocation definitions.

Go to General Ledger > Setup > Transaction allocations.
Find the allocation definition in the list.
Select Edit at the end of the row.
Edit the transaction allocation definition as needed.
For more information, see the field descriptions.
Select Save.

Go to General Ledger > Setup > Transaction allocations.
Find the allocation definition and select Edit.

Select Save.

Allocations made moving forward use the updated allocation settings.

Posted journal entries are not changed. However, incorrect allocation amounts can be displayed on pages, because these amounts are calculated based on the current allocation definition. This does not affect amounts on reports or in the audit trail.
