Shared costs, allocated by rule.
Rivane distributes shared and indirect costs across departments, entities, and cost centers using allocation rules you define, running every period with a full trail of how each number was derived.
Rules, not spreadsheets
Allocation logic lives in the system and runs the same way every period.
Allocate on real drivers
Split costs by headcount, square footage, revenue, or usage read live from the ledger.
Every dollar shows its work
Each posted allocation carries the basis and calculation behind it.
Allocations without the month-end spreadsheet
Define the rules once; Rivane runs them every period and shows the math.
Rule-based allocation
Distribute costs by percentage, driver, or statistical basis.
Cross-entity allocation
Allocate shared services across entities and cost centers.
Driver-based bases
Allocate on headcount, square footage, revenue, or usage.
Step-down and tiered
Support multi-step allocations between service departments.
Automatic posting
Allocation entries post to the ledger each period.
Full traceability
See the basis and calculation behind every allocated amount.
Define how shared costs should split, once
Set up allocation rules by fixed percentage, statistical driver, or dynamic basis. Rivane applies them consistently every period, so the logic lives in the system instead of a workbook only one person understands.
- Percentage, driver, and dynamic bases
- Rules applied consistently each period
- Reusable allocation templates
Allocate on the metric that actually drives the cost
Split IT by headcount, facilities by square footage, or corporate overhead by revenue. Drivers can read live figures from the ledger, so allocations reflect current activity, not last year’s ratios.
- Headcount, square footage, revenue, usage
- Live drivers pulled from the ledger
- Step-down between service departments
Every allocated dollar shows its work
Allocation entries post automatically with the basis and calculation attached. When someone asks why a department carries a given charge, the derivation is one click away.
- Automatic ledger posting
- Basis and math on each entry
- Reversible, re-runnable each period
One engine, every allocation method
Move between rules, drivers, and results, all posting to the same continuously reconciled ledger.

From cost pool to posted allocation
Each step runs on live ledger data, so allocations reflect the period as it actually ran.
Rule-based allocation vs. manual spreadsheets
Allocations that hold up under review
Rule-based, driver-aware, and traceable from the posted entry back to source costs.
Driver-based bases
Split on headcount, square footage, revenue, or usage read live from the ledger, so shares track real activity.
Cross-entity
Allocate shared services across entities and cost centers.
Step-down
Multi-step and reciprocal allocations sequenced automatically.
Full traceability
Basis and calculation attached to every posted entry.
Reversible
Rerun any period when inputs change, cleanly.
Reads the drivers you already track
Headcount, facilities, and usage data flow in, so allocations reflect the real business.
