Mass Allocations creates journals however they are not autoposting

Hello,

We are running Mass Allocations as part of our month-end close process and we use the "step-down" approach.  In prior periods the journals were created and auto-posting, however this period the journals that were created all went to un-posted and the mass allocation methods stopped after the first step in the allocation process.  What would be the cause of:

1.  The journals going to un-posted where in prior periods they would automatically post?

2.  The mass allocation method gives a completed status however it stops after the first step in the step-down approach be of #1.

Thanks.
