ExpenseAllocation - Global

The ExpenseAllocation script include is used by various cost management processes and can also be used for generating custom expense allocation records (fm_expense_allocation) from scripted expense allocation rules.

This script include requires the Cost Management (com.snc.cost_management) plugin.
