Enter special allocation with advanced allocation schemes

An advanced allocation scheme is used when 2 or more allocation methods are used to allocate a single amount. You can use various combinations of allocation types by adding up to 2 Absolute dollar columns, 2 Percentage columns, 1 Percentage column and 1 Units column, or 2 Greater of columns to the allocation scheme. Select the allocation methods to be used in the advanced scheme in the Advanced Allocation Scheme window, which you can open in either the Special Allocation of window or the Allocations window in Partner Data Entry.
  1. To open the Advanced Allocation Scheme window, do one of the following:
    • Select
      Ptr Alloc
       next to the field that contains the information that you want to specially allocate to open the
      Special Allocation
       of window, mark the
      Specially allocate
       checkbox, select the
      Advanced
       option in the Allocation scheme group box, then select
      Define Scheme
      .
    • Select
      Partner Information
      ,
      View
      , then
      Partner Information
      , or select
      CTRL+R
      ; select
      Allocations
      ; in the Allocation list, select
      application
      ,
      folder
      ,
      screen
      , then field of the amount you want to specially allocate; mark the
      Specially allocate
       checkbox; select the
      Advanced
       option in the Allocation scheme group box; then select
      Define Scheme
      .
  2. To use a previously defined advanced allocation scheme, select a format from the Previously Used Schemes pane, and select
    Select
     to move the components to the Advanced Scheme pane.
    note
    To create a new advanced allocation scheme, select the allocation types in the Allocation Components pane, and select
    Add
     to move the component to the Advanced Scheme pane.
  3. To modify the format, you can add additional allocation components (step 2), select
    Remove
    , or select
    Move Up
     and
    Move Down
    .
    note
    Follow ordering rules to ensure that the full amount is distributed to partners. For example, if you use a percentage or unit, UltraTax CS may require that the percentage or unit be the last column of the advanced allocation scheme. Therefore,
    Move Up
     or
    Move Down
     may not be available for all items.
  4. After you define your advanced allocation scheme, select
    OK
     to return to the Special Allocation of window.
    note
    The new format is saved and will be listed in the Previously Used Schemes pane the next time you open the
    Advanced Allocation Scheme
     window.
  5. In the columns in the Special Allocation grid, enter the amounts, units, or percentages of the amount you want to allocate to each partner.
    note
    When not also using a unit component, the final percentage column has to total 100 percent. If the column doesn’t equal 100 percent, UltraTax CS issues an error message and requires that the column entries be corrected.
  6. Select
    OK
     when you finish allocating the amount.
