Setting Filters for Dynamic Allocation Bases
The dynamic allocation method is based on changeable values. For example, the number of employees in a cost centre or the items sold of a cost object in a specific time period. There are nine pre-defined allocation bases and twelve dynamic date ranges. You set different filters based on the allocation base.
