1. Create Mass Allocation Defintion - First the user needs to define the mass allocation definition. The definition contains parameters as to how expenses etc would be distributed.

2. Validate the Mass Allocation definition - The second step is to validate the mass allocation defintions with valid account segments to ensure that same are correct and accurate.

3. Generate the Mass Allocation journals - Finally from journal entries already posted, mass allocation journals need to be passed so as to distribute or allocate the amounts to valid accounts based on proportion.

4. Review and post the entries - Once the mass allocation journals are generated, the last step in the process is to review the journals and post the entries to the Oracle GL general ledger.
