Internal Order What Is The Purpose of Internal Order?

Internal orders are used to plan, monitor, and analyze costs associated with short-term projects, services, jobs, or events. They provide more detailed cost information than cost centers. Model orders serve as templates to standardize new internal order creation. Costs are initially collected in internal orders and can then be settled or transferred to cost centers, asset accounts, or profit and loss accounts for monitoring and budget control purposes. Statistical orders are for informational purposes only, while real orders allow cost settlement.

INTERNAL ORDER

What is the purpose of internal order?

Internal orders are used to plan, collect ,analyze and monitor of cost of short term
measures (project), monitor the cost and revenue related to specific service and also
monitoring ongoing cost or internal orders can be used to monitor the specific job or
event. The internal orders will be used to monitor the internal activities and later can be
settled (transfer) to the cost centers (Overhead orders) or AUC and later can be settled
to fixed assets (Investment orders) and also through internal order can be tracked
marketing related expenses like exhibitions, trade service and this cost can be settled to
COPA or settled to cost centers.

We can use internal orders for statistical information purpose and also to monitor and
apply the budget control.

What is the internal order? Why we need it? In domain how we use this?

Internal order is used to monitor a specific job or event and also we can use for budget
control purpose. Internal order represents more detailed operation level and cost activity
accounting. And also to monitor the cost for short term events and activities. It helps in
providing more information than its provided in the cost center.

In legacy to monitor or to track specific expenditure like vehicle expenses or building


expenses this type of costs will track in some cases either through separate job card or
we create separate cost center for each job.

What is a Model order in Internal Orders?

Model orders are not the orders in commercial point of view but we use as reference for
creating normal order (Model orders can be used as a reference order for creating
normal orders). Model orders contain default values, for orders, in an order type.

Model order is assigned as the reference order in the order type. When you create a
new order, all the fields, active in the relevant order type are copying from the model
order to the new order. Model orders are to be assigned to order type.

Tell me the CAPEX order process?

Capital investment orders monitor investment costs which can be capitalized and settled
to fixed assets/AUC. We will collect the cost through internal order once job is
completed, then we will transfer the cost to AUC or Asset during the settlement of order.
In internal orders we will maintain settlement rule as receiver either AUC Asset master of
Fixed Asset Number. If you are transferring to the CWIP then again in asset a/c w need
to redistribute from CWIP to the asset.
What is the process of CWIP/AUC in internal orders?

In internal orders we will maintain settlement rule as receiver either AUC Asset master of
Fixed Asset Number, initially the cost can be collected against internal order and the
same cost can be settled from internal order to AUC periodically. Once AUC is
completed than it will transfer from AUC to asset account in the Asset Accounting
module (AIAB). In this one we will maintain settlement rule that is the specifying the
receiver settlement number. This setting will be maintaining we will do the settlement of
AUC after maintaining the settlement rule.

Accounting Entry: In case of external settlement (Internal order settlement to AUC or G/L
A/c’s)

FI Entry:

Dr AUC/Fixed Assets/GL A/c’s


Cr CWIP/AUC/P & L A/c

CO Entry:

Cr Inter Order

Incase of internal settlement there is no account entry.

Dr/Cr Cost object


Cr/Dr Internal order

What is difference between statistical and real order?

Statistical orders can be used for information purpose only. These statistical orders can
not to settle to any orders because this is not real order.

Real orders will be used for overhead expenses, AUC, and this orders can be settled to
other cost objects (cost centers, internal order, sales order, WBS segment, AUC and GL
a/c’s.

Budget control can be used for both types of orders, if internal order is statistical than
cost center postings will be real.

If internal order is a real order than the cost center will be statistical. We will mention
order is statistical by selecting the tick mark statistical order in the internal order during
the creation of internal order.

What is difference between Cost Center and Internal order?

Cost center and internal orders both are cost objects. Cost centers will collect the cost
not only for a specific job. It collects the total expenditure relevant to departments.
If you want to monitor specific job or event within the department than internal order will
be helpful. These facilities we can’t get through cost center. In cost center budgetary
control not available.

The cost center will collect the cost for all the events in the department. If we need to
check individual job wise will use internal order. If we need to check department wise
than we use the cost centers.

If we post expenses to cost centers and internal orders? Why we need both, We
can use either of these?

Normally we use both in some cases like where department wants to monitor the cost
department wise, as well as specific job or event wise, such cases will use both cost
center and internal order.

If we use both than one is real cost object, and another it will become statistical. That
means if internal order is statistical then cost center is real. If internal order is real the
cost center will become the statistical.
