Hi Friends

Indirect activity allocation is a very common functionality and it is used in almost every
implementation. At my times of practice this was a very scary topic to understand for me and the
screens which I am sharing here are actually of that time only. Why I am sharing these screen
today??? Reason is that even at my time I could not find any easy document on this topic and today
some-one on the forum is asking help on this.

So let us start:

Important :

1. Activities of Activity type Categories ‘2’ and ‘3’ can only be used in Indirect Activity Allocation for
Senders.
2. Indirect Activity Allocation should be used when either Sender quantities or Receiver quantities
are not known or it is difficult to ascertain either of two quantities.

Process Flow:

Case1: Sender ‘Steam’ Activity Quantity is not known but receiver activity quantities are available. So
we will create Activity type for Category ‘2’.
