Billing Plan for Distribution/Revenue Plan
In a revenue plan (sales contracts) or distribution billing plan (acquisition contracts), a rights item is distributed between various account assignment objects, such as the IP or market. The system observes these account assignment objects during the posting to Accounting and splits the G/L
account lines.

Features
You can specify distribution of the item value for the assigned contract items in several plan lines in billing plan types that allow revenue and cost distribution. In this case, the value of the item (for example, the conditions in a price-relevant item or the current value of an item that
is relevant to the difference calculation) is not transferred to Accounting as a whole. A specific share of this value is allocated to each distribution line. The respective account assignment information is determined from the attributes in the plan line (such as market, territory, and language). This
means that revenues for a sales item or expenses for an acquisition item can be distributed between several account assignment objects.
