What is currently making indirect cost accounting difficult in your company?
The standard reports, but doesn't post
Settlements calculated outside the system
A split unrelated to usage
One logic for different costs
Step-by-step recalculations
Results scattered across files
Cost allocation with posting
Allocations posted straight to the ledger
Cost Allocation generates and posts cost allocations straight to the general ledger and project transactions. The settlement closes in the same system where the costs arose.
A ready financial sheet
The calculation produces an unposted financial sheet with the cost split ready. The team reviews and approves rather than exporting and retyping.
Non-financial keys
You allocate costs by non-financial keys - kilometre, hour, metre - and account balances are apportioned by the proportion of materials used. The split reflects the real use of a resource, not just the account entry.
Your own algorithms and formulas
You define any number of settlement algorithms, keys and formulas, with account ranges, financial dimensions and variance indicators. Every kind of cost gets the logic it deserves.
Multi-stage recalculations
The module runs multi-stage recalculations in a defined order, in sets made up of many steps. The whole settlement cascade runs in a single execution.
Results straight into tables
Calculation results go into selected system tables, such as costing sheets or rate tables. The data is ready for analysis and reporting with no extra export.

The value provided by Cost Allocation and Settlement
A posted entry, not just a report
Cost settlement ends with an entry in the general ledger and project transactions. The allocation is an accounting fact, not an attachment to a report.
A sheet to approve, not to retype
The finished cost split goes straight to review and approval. Manually moving results from a file into the system drops out of the process.
Profitability calculated from usage
Costs are spread by the real use of resources, not arbitrary proportions. Product and project margins show the truth, not an artefact of the allocation key.
The right logic for each cost
Energy, labour rates and warehouse space are each settled by their own rules. One module handles many logics, so simplifications stop being necessary.
The cascade in a single run
Complex, multi-stage settlements run in a single pass, in a defined order. The close doesn't wait for someone to walk costs through the stages by hand.
Data ready for analysis
The results are in the system tables, where financial reporting reaches for them. Controlling analyses instead of gathering data from files.
Defining allocation algorithms and rules
You define any number of algorithms and cost-allocation keys, along with the formulas by which the allocations run. Separately, you configure the ranges of accounts included in a specific allocation definition, the ranges of financial dimensions, and the variance indicators.
Automating cost allocation and posting
The module generates cost allocations and reallocations, posting them both to the general ledger and to project transactions. The result is an unposted financial journal with the cost breakdown ready, instead of manual export and retyping.
Allocations by business and non-financial keys
You allocate costs by the source main account and financial dimensions, but also by non-financial keys, a kilometre, an hour, a metre. Account balances are reallocated by the proportion of materials consumed, not just by book value.
Multi-stage calculations and results ready for analysis
You define the order of calculations by set stages and build compound sets made up of several calculations run according to defined logic. The results go straight into selected tables, for example costing sheets or rate tables, ready for further analysis and financial reporting.
Products that help us drive change
We don't just deploy standalone applications; we implement a cohesive suite of Microsoft solutions—from Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform to advanced analytics and AI—tailored to your specific goals. Everything runs on a unified data foundation, meaning information entered once works across your entire organization, while AI supports your processes exactly where the work happens.

Switching systems doesn't have to mean chaos. We guide you through four simple steps, ensuring that at every stage, you know exactly what is happening, why it’s happening, and what comes next.
Needs analysis
We get to know your situation, processes, and goals. Together, we determine what needs to change and how we will measure the success of that change.
Choosing the right solutions
We recommend the scope, path, and variant, always starting with standard options. You make your decisions based on facts, not assumptions.
Roadmap
Schedule, budget, roles, and decision gates. Everyone knows who is responsible for what and when decisions are made.
Implementation and monitoring
We implement in stages, incorporating testing and risk management, and once live, we stabilize the system and transition to ongoing support.

FAQs
How does the module differ from the standard cost allocation mechanism in Dynamics 365?
Standard Dynamics 365 lets you report indirect costs but not post or repost their allocations. The module generates cost allocations and posts them directly to the general ledger and to project transactions, closing the process with a posted entry, not just a report.
Which companies is the module for?
Primarily for manufacturing and service companies, but it works anywhere indirect costs, employee rates, or warehouse space are allocated.
What are non-financial keys and how do they work in allocations?
They are units outside standard book value, a kilometre, an hour, a metre, by which the module distributes costs. They let you allocate costs based on actual resource consumption, not just an account entry.
Can you define a multi-stage allocation?
Yes. You define the order of calculations by set stages and build compound sets made up of several calculations run according to defined logic, in a single run.
Where do the allocation results go?
To selected tables in the system, for example costing sheets or rate tables, ready for further analysis and financial reporting, without any extra export.
