Automatic distribution allows you to distribute a journal entry amount for a particular account to predetermined accounts with predetermined percentages. Once you have set up the auto distribution accounts, the auto distribution option is enabled.

 

You may use the auto distribution option when creating journal entries for the current period. Journal entries that are created and posted during Updating GL, and journal entries created from the Post to Previous Period window do not use this option.

 

Only journal entries created and modified from the Create Journal Entry and Edit Journal Entry windows use this option. See Making Journal Entries for more information.
