About Fixed Allocations
Fixed allocations are an advanced, yet helpful feature of the ManageMore general ledger system. When used, the program will automatically allocate amounts posted to one general ledger account to a set of other accounts, based on predefined fixed percentages. This may be used for allocating utilities expense to various departments, for example.

Q & A - Fixed Allocations
Q01. What would I use fixed allocations for?
A01. You can use fixed allocations for any purpose where items or services are billed to your company as a whole, but for some reason needs to be split among divisions of the company. For instance, if maid service is performed at all of your locations by the same company, but you receive only one bill. You could then used fixed allocations to allocate the expense to the locations for some portion of the service, yet only enter one purchase receipt.
Q02. I don't see my question here. Where else can I get information?
