Distribution of Internal Order

[Former Member]

Hi Pundits

Can we run distribution cycles for Internal orders.

Say Internal Order XXXX can be used for ledger postings but when you finalise you management accounts, balance on Internal Order XXXX have to be zero. Its like suspense order which cannot hold any value end of the month.

Hi,

For Internal Orders another mechanism of allocation, called 'settlement' is applied. You cannot include IO in your cycles as a sender (only as a receiver). You can read more about settlement here:

Hi Eli

Thanks for the reply mate.

You have pointed me in right direction, but water is still not clear. May be I have to do bit more research.

Settlement seem to fine when you want to settle against any other object such as cost element, profit centre etc, but I'm after settlement to other Internal Order.

Hi,

The settlement could be executed for another internal order as well. There is no problem with that. Just be sure to define in the settlement profile the ability to do so.
