You can view various aspects of an allocation run in the Review Allocation Runs window, including the run status.
You can also view allocation transactions by querying by batch name. See: Viewing Allocation Transactions.
Navigate to the Find Allocations Runs window and enter selection criteria. (To see all existing allocation runs, leave all the fields blank.)
The Review Allocation Runs window opens.
Select the allocation run that you want to view and choose an action button. The following table describes the actions that you can perform when you are viewing allocation runs, depending on the run status. Also see: About the Run Status.
| To... | With this status... | Do this... |
|---|---|---|
| Delete an allocation run | Draft Success Draft Failure Release Failure | Choose Delete, and then confirm the deletion. |
| View the exceptions for a failed allocation run | Draft Failure | Choose Exceptions. You see information about the draft failure in the Draft Exceptions window. (The Allocation Run Report also includes a list of the exceptions. See: Generate Allocations Transactions). |
| Reverse an allocation run | Release Success | Choose Reverse. See: Reversing Allocation Runs. |
| Release an allocation run | Draft Success Release Failure | Choose Release, and then confirm the release. See Releasing Allocation Runs. |
| See missing amounts for the second and subsequent runs of an incremental allocation | Draft Success Draft Failure Release Success Release Failure | Choose Missing Amounts. To limit the display in the Missing Amounts window, specify the type of amount you want to see, and then choose Find. To see the total missing amounts, choose Totals. See: About Previous Amounts and Missing Amounts in Allocation Runs. |
| See the basis details for an allocation run that used a rule whose basis is prorated | Draft Success Draft Failure Release Success Release Failure | Choose Basis Details. The Basis Details window displays basis information about the target lines in the allocation run. To see the total basis amounts, choose Totals. |
| See the source detail lines for an allocation run | Draft Success Draft Failure Release Success Release Failure Reversed | Choose Source Details. The Source Details window displays information about the sources used in the allocation run. To see total pool amounts, choose Totals. |
| See the transactions created by an allocation run | Draft Success Draft Failure Release Success Release Failure Reversed | Choose Transactions. The Transactions window displays information about the transactions associated with the allocation run. To limit the number of transactions displayed, select a check box and then choose Find. |
Note: When you choose to delete a draft allocation run, Oracle Projects submits the concurrent program PRC: Delete Allocations Transactions. Before submitting the request, Oracle Projects ensures that no other request for the same rule and allocation run combination is in a non-completed status.
You can customize the columns that are visible for several of the windows that are displayed when you select one of the viewing options shown in the table above. For more information on the fields you can choose, refer to the following table:
| Window | Fields you can add using Folder Tools |
|---|---|
| Review Allocation Runs | Many fields, including Draft Request ID, Pool Amount, Transaction Currency, parameters for various aspects of allocation, basis, missing amounts, offsets, and sources, and others. |
| Missing Amounts | Project Amounts Release Request ID Task Name |
| Source Details | Client Extension Project Name Task Name |
| Transactions | Expnd Type Project Name Target Line Num Task Name |
For more information about adding folder fields, see: Customizing the Presentation of Data in a Folder, Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.
If the pool amount for an allocation run is different from what you anticipate, check for one or more of the following conditions:
If you specify a percentage to allocate from a resource structure (in the Resources window), the rule calculates the pool amount using both the percentage specified in the Allocation Pool % field (Sources window) and the percentage specified in the Resources window.
The amount included in the source pool can change each time you run the allocation. To create a stable source pool, define each project and task individually, either by specifying the source project and tasks in the Project Sources region in the Sources window, or by using a fixed amount as the source.
For any run period, the rule creates the allocation pool during the time period defined by the amount class and run period. The amount class is based on the allocation period type (Allocation Rule window) and the amount class (Sources window).
