   Note:  
   * During cost allocation, if the total allocated quantity or amount across different cost centers or ledger accounts isn't equal to the invoice line quantity or subtotal, then the invoice cost allocation exception occurs. For more information on exceptions, see [Invoice exceptions](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/hjSTHhSznZNSptTKqUEHHg "Invoice exceptions are issues that are identified in an invoice during invoice processing.").
   * When you delete an invoice line record, you're prompted with a pop-up message to confirm the deletion of an invoice line record removes its associated cost allocation record.
