You can specify an asset allocation method to enable Oracle Projects to automatically allocate unassigned asset lines and common costs across multiple assets. Unassigned asset lines typically occur when more than one asset is assigned to an asset grouping level.
You can specify a default asset allocation method for a capital project type and override it at the project level.
For information on specifying an asset allocation method in the Capitalization Information tab of the Project Types window, see: Project Types, Oracle Projects Implementation Guide.
To specify an asset allocation method for a project, select an allocation method in the Capital Information window for the project. For information, see: Capital Information.
You can select one of the following asset allocation methods:
Actual Units: Costs are allocated based on the number of actual units specified for each asset in the Assets window. See: Asset Attributes.
Client Extension: Costs are allocated based on the Asset Allocation Basis extension.
Current Cost: Costs are allocated based on the grouped CIP cost of each asset.
Estimated Cost: Costs are allocated based on the estimated cost specified for each asset in the Assets window. See: Asset Attributes.
Standard Unit Cost: Costs are allocated based on a standard unit cost defined for the asset book and category in the Project Assets Standard Unit Cost window. See: Define Standard Unit Costs for Asset Cost Allocations, Oracle Projects Implementation Guide.
Spread Evenly: Costs are allocated evenly based on the number of assets being capitalized for the project or the event.
