  2. 2. Choose the receiving unit or person and enter an allocation that does not exceed the remaining weight.
  3. 3. Save the allocation and recheck the source balance.
Completion
The receiving record is listed and the source KRA shows the updated used and remaining weight.

What allocation does

Allocation decides who is responsible for each approved priority. A priority can be assigned directly to a person, to a unit, or cascaded to a lower level when responsibility is shared.

Before generating contracts

Review allocations carefully. Contracts will reflect the responsibilities and weights you assign here.

  • Check that every important priority has an owner.
  • Confirm the total weight makes sense.
  • Avoid duplicate ownership unless the responsibility is genuinely shared.
  • Make sure unit-based allocations have the right unit leader in place.
