Additional Process Information

When specifying multiple account assignment for an item, you must consider the following points:

How is the net value of a PO item to be distributed (apportioned) to the individual account assignment items?

The costs can be allocated on a quantity or percentage basis (for example, 10 pieces or 10% of the order value to cost center 100).

How are the costs to be apportioned if only a part of the ordered quantity has been delivered and invoiced?

In this case, the accounts are charged with the invoiced amount of the partial delivery. For each purchase order item with multiple account assignments, you can specify whether the cost allocation is carried out proportionally or on a progressive fill-up basis.

If you allocate the costs proportionally, the invoiced amount is distributed equally among the accounts.
If you allocate the costs on a progressive fill-up basis, the invoiced amount is allocated to the individual account assignment items one after the other. In this case, the costs are only assigned to account assignment item 2, if item 1 has been completely exhausted. This procedure is continued with each partial invoice until the full invoiced amount has been reached.
