Enhance Efficiency with Timely and Accurate Period Closing
Being able to deploy resources efficiently and monitor costs accurately are key factors in gaining and sustaining a competitive advantage. Sage MAS 500 Allocations offers you a powerful yet flexible tool to do just that — through timely and efficient allocation and accrual processing that enables you to simplify and streamline period-end closing cycles.
Sage MAS 500 Allocations allows you to use the power of automation to structure virtually any allocation, distribute allocations in a variety of ways, redistribute individual transactions and create accrual transactions. Any account or group of accounts can be allocated to one or more accounts, with full control over the accounts used in the transaction.
Formulas built into the solution enable you to perform a wide range of calculations quickly and easily, saving you time while helping to enhance the budgeting and planning process. With Allocations, you can use formulas to calculate a variety of allocation transactions, define global and local formulas, create an unlimited number of formulas and formula lines, and use database queries in formulas to calculate and deploy values from other databases.
Sage MAS 500 Allocations prevents errors with built-in processing controls that allow you to run individual allocation and accrual transactions, as well as transaction batches in specific periods and select effective dates to restrict the lifecycle of a particular allocation. In addition, the system allows you to choose to process allocations only if not previously processed or posted, and flag processed allocations as pending until posted or canceled. Allocations also provides a clear picture of formula calculation through a complete audit trail.
