Why Recharge vs Standard Allocations?

Standard AX allows for two different types of allocations to be processed in the system:

• Allocation of transactions on posting to a particular account and splitting the value in a predefined split across financial dimensions. This cannot process across companies.
• Utilizing the cost allocation process where allocations can be performed over certain accounts and can be process across companies.
