Internal Order

An internal order is an extremely flexible CO tool that can be used for a wide variety of purposes todocument costs and, in some cases revenues within a controlling area. You use internal orders forplanning, monitoring and allocating costs.

You can use internal orders for different purposes.
They can be split into four categories:
􀁹 Overhead cost orders: monitoring overhead costs that are incurred for certain purpose, such asholding a trade fair, or for the documentation of costs, such as for maintenance and repair tasks.
􀁹 Investment orders: monitoring costs that are incurred for an asset under construction, for example,a building or a warehouse.
􀁹 Accrual order: offsetting entry of accrual costs (calculated costs in CO) to cost centers.
􀁹 Orders with revenues: can be used as cost objects so that costs and revenues can be tracked.
