Can I allocate physically in Projects > Report?

Is it possible to allocate the LCIA calculation physically in the generation of Report in Projects? I cannot get the right results between the calculation in the Product System and the calculation in the Projects>Report. I think it is due to the fact that I cannot allocate in the Projects>LCIA Method section.

Select an allocation method in the calculation such as economic, physical, causal. In this case, I would like to be able to choose physical allocation in my calculation.

Ah thank you - yes that is possible, select the allocation method in the project:

This will set the allocation as you select, for all processes in the product system. If you select "as defined in processes" the method selected in the process will be taken.
Of course, this has only an effect if you have multi-functional processes in the product system.
