This help instructs you on how to use allocation curves for the accrual of purchase invoices and sales invoices in Netvisor. You can open allocation curve management by selecting Financials > Bookkeeping settings > Allocation curves. Allocation curve management is available with the company user profile. Adding a new allocation curve requires the KP role and editing rights to basic accounting functions in function-specific rights.
Allocation curves can be used for the accrual of a purchase invoice and a sales invoice, allowing you to allocate the invoice to the desired months. The View has a few allocation curves created in advance.
- The "Periods" field defines how many months the invoice is allocated to when you select an allocation curve for the invoice.
- Select the New button when you want to create a new allocation curve.
- Edit the name of an existing allocation curve as needed.

For example, a quarterly allocation curve allocates the invoice by quarter. You can create your own rules based on the same principle.
- Make sure that the total of the distribution ratios is 100%.
- If needed, select the setting distribute percentages evenly when updating, in which case the program rounds the allocations so that they total 100%.
