Process Group Description
CA Approval Process
This process group includes the Cost Allocation transaction type or CA transaction approval process.
Rationale or background to policy:
The Cost Allocation module generates a transaction called the CA transaction that is the resulting entry from a given allocation grouping defined as an allocation ID. Once the transaction is generated it is automatically posted. No workflow is necessary. There are different modes where the cost allocation results are reviewed before a cost allocation transaction is generated. This does not need workflow.
Policy Statement:
CAlloc.PO.01 CAlloc CA Approval Process
Cost allocation transactions shall be generated automatically and post immediately upon creation. Workflow is not necessary. The cost allocation process has various modes to run the batch process to provide a way to see the CA transaction results without creating the CA.
Procedures:
CAlloc.PR.03.01
No procedure is necessary for workflow since all cost allocation module generated transactions automatically post when created.
