Editor's Notes
- #18 We saw earlier when you post to a cost center, the system generates a statistical posting into a profit center, there’s relationship between the two areas. In the same way, there is a relationship between internal orders and cost centers. Each time a transaction is posted to an internal order, the sap system creates two entries to the management accounting information system.It posts a statistical entry to the order and an actual entry to the cost center. Once again there is the potential to have a many to one relationship between the order and the cost center.
- #20 The University uses internal orders in order to provide more detailed analysis of expenditure at resource center level. Once again, it is possible to set up internal order groups in order to facilitate reporting and there are no constraints as to the combination of order groups you can create.
