1.1 Allocation Maintenance (01010m)

Allocations are the primary data entity within Muli used to track Income, Expense, or other track-able items. They are usually a numeric number between 0000 and 9999. Allocations with letters are exceptions used only by the system.

In Muli, the allocations are broken down into two Main groups:

1. General Ledger (GL) allocations numbers, 0000 to 0999 plus special lettered accounts. These allocations have GL sequence numbers to put them in their appropriate GL bucket.

2. Project allocations numbers, 1000 to 9999.

   This range can be broken into:

   • 1000 - Contract income
   • 1001 - 1149 Additional project income separate to head contract
   • 1150 - 9997 Project costs: within project costs small jobs allocation range 2001-7998 will have their own buckets contained in the small jobs area instead of the system allocations

1. Allocation
2. Description
3. Heading Space (Y/N) The only effect of this is to insert a blank line before the line in printing the allocation report.

4. Sequence #
   This provides the control for locating General Ledger items in their required locations in Profit & Loss or Balance Sheet.

   While the Sequence No. at present has no impact for allocations greater than 0998, Muli has plans to enable consolidation of Repository Overheads into the P & L in future updates, hence the availability of the extended facility.
