Accounts Subtask

Use this subtask to distribute the requisition line charge to single or multiple project/account/organization combinations.

This subtask is not required for a new requisition line if you entered an inventory abbreviation for that line, or if you entered project, account, and organization information in the default screen.

This information is loaded into every new PO line created from this requisition line. Costpoint uses the allocation percentages to allocate the purchase order line dollar costs if they differ from the requisition line amounts.

You must use this subtask whenever you add a requisition line to the requisition and maintain it when you need to modify that requisition line account allocation.
