Expense allocation refers to the assignment of expenses to accounts in the hierarchy of
segments.

You can allocate expenses by applying rules to groomed expenses in the general ledger. The
methods and metrics in the rules specify how the expenses are allocated. See [Allocations](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/j4_MOWL0Ct3o2gD1LxvB3w "When the Financial Management application allocates an expense, it breaks down the expense into detailed amounts of money called allocations.") for more information on how rules,
methods, and metrics work.

## Reversions and Reallocations

After a groomed expense in the general ledger is allocated, it cannot be allocated again
unless the original allocation is reverted. You should revert allocations if changes to
allocation rules, methods, or metrics are made and the general ledger expenses must be
reallocated according to the modifications. In addition, if you make changes to the hierarchy of
segments, all expenses need to be reverted first.
