  Allocation process in SAP Analytics Cloud (LOD-ANA) is a feature that allows users to allocate values from one dimension to another. It is used to distribute values from one dimension to another based on a set of rules. For example, it can be used to allocate sales revenue from one region to another based on the number of salespeople in each region.

The source dimension is the dimension from which the values will be allocated, and the target dimension is the dimension to which the values will be allocated. Once these dimensions have been defined, users can then define the rules for how the values should be allocated. This can include setting a percentage or fixed amount for each target dimension.
