Automatic Distributions are used to distribute expenses from one expense account to others after all other transactions have been posted for the month. A good example would be promotional expense. When they write checks the amount of the check is distributed to one account, say "Promotional General", then at the end of the month the total activity in that account for the month is distrubuted to various departments, say Manufacturing 50%, Admin 30%, Sales 20%. So after the automatic distributions have been posted, the "Promotional General" account has a zero balance for the month's activity and the various accounts have their proportional amount of the expense.
Automatic Distributions may be reviewed at period close.
