You can view the details of the allocation like the run number, the sequence number, the code identifying the finance book associated with the allocation, the accounting year and the period of allocation. You can also view the allocation basis details like the code identifying the cost element, the code identifying the unit of measurement and the details of the budget that has been associated with the cost element. You can also view the creation and the modification history.
