This article applies to Microsoft Dynamics AX for all regions.

Symptoms

Assume that you register actual cost transactions and budget cost transactions for a specific cost center in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. Then, you define an allocation rule by using the "Plan costs to actual costs" option in the Allocation setup. The plan cost amounts should be taken as actual cost. However, the "Plan costs to actual costs" option does not work as expected. When you run the period calculation process, the system allocates actual transaction amounts. The system does not allocate budget transaction amounts.
