Property Based Allocation

Question

Hi all,
I have a question about allocation. For example there is a property FLAG in product dimension and I have the members in this dimension. Some of them have a "X" and rest have a "Y" in property FLAG. In input schedule i want to enter data in property based(How can i do this?).  And i want do the allocation to all of  the members of these properties.
For example,
ID------FLAG(property)
A----
X
B----
X
C----
Y
D----
Y
So, when i enter 50 to X, A and B will be 25.
and When i enter 60 to y, C and D will be 30.
Any Idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You cannot enter value 50 into X, because there is no X member in your dimension. You can maintain X and Y as members and set the flag to TA (representing to be allocated). Then enter the values in X and Y.
After this, you need to run a script logic for doing the allocation.
1. First you need to fetch all the members with flag as TA. These are the members, which needs to be allocated. Store them in some variable.
2. For each member in the above variable, fetch the members whose flag is same as the above variable. This gives you the destination, where the value should be allocated.
3. Use the allocation function.
Hope this helps.
