allocatee
From the wording of your question, I believe you already know what the term means - ie the department to which an expense is allocated - but are trying to find an idiomatic way of saying it in English.
Strange as it sounds, the word "allocatee" does actually exist:
http://www.cdfifund.gov/news_events/CDFI-2010-27-CDFI-Fund-S...
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/allocatee
It doesn't appear in any standard dictionaries as far as I can see, so may be something of a made-up word.
The only alternative I can think of would be to describe it longhand, ie 'the department to which the expense is allocated'.

I'm wondering if 'cost center' might be better, although I don't know if there is another translation for 'cost center'.

: 配賦 and 配布 are not exactly the same. 配賦 is an accounting term, referring to allocation of funds, budgets, expenses etc, whereas 配布 simply means distribution, of anything.

: Can you explain the suggestions that you post on Proz.com? Do you actually understand what you post in English? In this context, can you explain what "target fields of assessment" actually is?
