# AllocationScreen

## Description

The Allocation screen rule controls plan and policy level allocations. Allocations are used to define how money can be applied to a plan or policy. OIPA uses the AsAllocation table for allocations to the policy.

Note: The Allocation screen is not required for valuation or fund processing; however, it is commonly used to satisfy business workflow processes.
