Transferring Cost Amounts

When you transfer a cost amount, you must select at least two existing cost allocations, each of which is controlled by a different cost account. Through these allocations, Proliance withdraws the money from the first cost account and deposits it in the second. You can select any number of additional allocations for the transfer, as long as each one is controlled by a cost account.

Once you move a transfer document out of Draft state, Proliance creates a transaction for each of the selected cost allocations. The transaction records the change in the allocation's value as a result of the transfer.
