# Allocation ### Purpose Allocation Rules in JustPerform provides a comprehensive framework for defining & capturing varied allocation scenarios, upon execution system automatically transforms & apply the rules to the source data & generates the allocation results Simplified user experience & business defined rules make this allocation business rule framework to be defined & maintained by users themselves - Transparency & Flexibility. General allocation scenarios like distributing of source dataset values to one object or several other receiving datasets, based on drivers.

Multiple allocation methods are supported like - 1. **Driver**: Input data is allocated using driver data within the model. Driver Method is used to allocate Input amount proportionately based on allocation driver details. 2. **Reclass**: Input data is reclassed to output data (similar to Account reclass). Used to 100% transfer data from Input to Output defined. In a business sense, it is 100 % allocation from Input to Output. ### #### --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
