3608073 - SAC Allocation based on Account dimension Formula results in NULL value

You execute a standard Allocation process for an "Account Model", it doesn't work and the Allocation result is NULL.

For this scenario, you use an Account dimension member based on formula as the source value to be distributed during the allocation process.

SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD 1.0

Currently Allocations from calculated accounts are not supported.

Allocations are never applied to calculated accounts, as written results would conflict with the calculation. If the Allocation is applied to the non-calculated accounts which are used in the calculation of the calculated account, then the calculation would be applied to the results and the calculated account would show numbers based on the applied Allocation.

If the Allocation uses a booking account then these non-calculated accounts are not modified and the calculated account will not pick up the Allocation results (except the booking account is used in the calculation).

Currently Allocations from calculated accounts are not supported.
