Turning on Reallocations
After enabling the HR_ReallocationProfile permission, you can turn on reallocations in the Calculation Settings page of Payroll settings.

In the left sidebar, click on Payroll, then click on Calculation Settings.
Click on Edit (pencil icon) in the toolbar.
Tick the boxes for the required reallocation settings (you can tick both):

Click Save.
