Add Allocate Services to Receiving application

The Allocate Services action in the Invoices application is used to allocate standard services across other invoice lines. A typical use would be to distribute freight costs among the items received. However, the Invoices application is often not used by clients but Receiving is performed in Maximo. The allocation of freight costs can increase the average cost of storeroom items or it can be used to distribute costs across work orders if direct issue items have been used. There is still a need to distribute these additional charges when Invoicing is not processed in Maximo. 

The same Allocate Services action could be added to the Receiving application in the Service Receipts tab. It would allow you to Prorate Services that had already been received against any previous material or service lines that had already been saved. This would create the same MATRECTRANS and SERVRECTRANS transactions as if it had been performed from the invoices application, the Issue Type would be INVOICE.
