Static allocation method is based on a definite value, such as square meters used, or an established allocation ratio such as 5:2:4.
This topic describes how to define three new allocation target cost objects for the allocation source PROD cost center using the established allocation ratio 5:2:4. The three target cost objects are ACCESSO, PAINT, and FITTINGS.
