Introduction

The Allocation function let's you associate general ledger (GL) Numbers with your transactions and then create a GL interface file for exporting Spectrum transaction information into your general ledger. iTracer has the industry's most intuitive and flexible setup, which allows you to use sub-accounts to automatically define GL Numbers using data from Spectrum. You also have to option of manually mapping Main GL Numbers to transactions using the Chart of Accounts. Or, you can use a combination of both methods.

Choice of interface file formats

iTracer has the industry's most flexible GL interface file option capability. You can choose from four possible interface file formats that let you interact with any GL software. The interface file format options include:

• Standard fixed length text file
• Standard comma separated values text file
• Microsoft Excel file
• XML file

Company level restrictions

iTracer restricts producing the final write and clear of the Interface File and updating the Allocation Setup to only users with company level access. This prevents individual cardholders from altering your company's GL setup.

iTracer's Allocation function is both flexible and simple to use. There are three basic steps in using the Allocation function:

• Setting up Allocation
• Editing transaction information
• Writing the interface file

The Guided Tour will now step you through each of these three basic steps.
