Which records and relationships can a generated allocation dataset contain?

A dataset can include payers, accounts, obligations, incoming payments, policies, decisions and exceptions, with the links between them preserved so allocation outcomes can be traced.

A generated allocation dataset can contain the objects a collections or receivables team works with, and the links between them.

- **Payer and account records:** payers, related entities, accounts and the obligations attached to them. - **Obligations:** invoices, instalments, premiums or utility charges with due dates, amounts and status. - **Incoming payments:** bank feed lines, card settlements and remittance advices, including free-text references of varying quality. - **Policies:** written rules on ageing order, tolerance for small differences, disputed items and unapplied cash. - **Decisions:** the allocation chosen, the policy cited, and the reason an item was held or escalated. - **Handovers and exceptions:** queue entries, notes between teams, reversals and re-applications.

Relationships matter more than volume. A payment should link to the obligations it clears, a reversal should link to the original payment, and a decision should link to a policy version that was current at the time.

A task pack could turn these into questions with expected outcomes. A simulated environment could expose the same state through tool actions such as search payer, view open items and apply payment. All of it is generated, so a buyer should inspect how closely it follows the workflow they care about.

The value sits in the links between payments, obligations, policies and decisions, so inspect relationships before looking at record volume.
