Hi,

I kindly ask that someone can give me a business case for that feature in Odoo V13 accounting module.

I have a hard time to understand what this feature is good for...

I would have expected, that I can distribute an amount from one analytic account (AA 1) to other analytic accounts (AA2, AA3, AA4 etc) with defined allocation keys (fixed amount or percentage) using a secondary cost element for the posting.

I would expect to define a source and a target this way:
USER STORY:
In my role as a financial controller I want to be able to allocate cost at month end from one account/analytical account to other analytical account(s) using allocation keys and a secondary cost element (different accoutn from the original account to prevent the postings will blance out the original amount on the collector AA)

SOURCE:
- financial account: xyz my FI account, where I have posted the cost/revenue to
- analytic account : zyx my analytic account where the costs/revenu have been posted to
   or analytica account group: ABC

distribute to DESTINATION:
- analytic account e.g.: 1234 my destination 1  (40%)  / 4321 my destination 2 (60%)
- use this account for distribution: 9999 my secondary cost allocation account

So please can some let me know what that AUTOMATIC TRANSFER FEATURE is good /intended for. Or have I overseen something???

Thank you in advance!
