Central engine to allocate shared service costs across business units using driver-based allocation (FTE, revenue, headcount).

Includes a dispute resolution sheet and a configurable allocation rule table so allocations can be changed centrally with recalculation across periods. Ideal for shared services teams managing intercompany billing.
