Credit allocation assigns reseller units to an account action or another permitted destination under the panel's rules. It might occur during account creation, renewal or an authorized transfer, depending on the system. An allocation should be traceable so the reseller can explain what changed and which customer or request the deduction belongs to in the ledger.
A practical example
A reseller records a customer's chosen term, the authorized panel action and the corresponding credit deduction. Keeping those details together makes later renewal questions easier to resolve than relying only on the panel's current remaining balance after many different transactions.
A common misunderstanding
Do not allocate twice because a screen responds slowly. Check the transaction result or supported history before repeating an action that can create another account or consume additional balance.
