What is meant by internal order?

Hi
what is meant by internal order?
thanks in advance

An instrument used to monitor costs and, in some instances, the revenues of an organization.
Internal orders can be used for the following purposes:
Monitoring the costs of short-term jobs
Monitoring the costs and revenues of a specific service
Ongoing cost control
Internal orders are divided into the following categories:
Overhead orders - For short-term monitoring of the indirect costs arising from jobs. They can also be used for continuous monitoring of subareas of indirect costs. Overhead orders can collect plan and actual costs independently of organizational cost center structures and business processes, enabling continous cost control in the enterprise.
Investment orders - Monitor investment costs that can be capitalized and settled to fixed assets.
Accrual orders - Monitor period-based accrual between expenses posted in Financial Accounting and accrual costs in Controlling.
Orders with revenues - Monitor the costs and revenues arising from activities for partners outside the organization, or from activities not belonging to the core business of the organization.

  • Using a different Sender GL in Internal Order Settlement

    When we settle an Internal Order from GL/Cost Element 1 to Fixed Assets, we get:
    Dr: Fixed Asset
    Cr: GL/Cost Element 1.
    For various reasons, we do not want to Credit the original GL/Cost Element but rather another one.
    Does anyone have any sugestions as to how this can be achieved?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Can you tell me what is meant by "Internal Order from GL/Cost Element.."? 
    As per the functionality, when you settle an internal order, something is moved from the intrnal order and put to another.  Hence the place from where it is moved is credited and the receiver is debited.  The internal order has postings through the cost element you have posted.  So the movement is from what the internal order has in its account. 
    Order settlement is done through a secondary cost element created and this cost element is used for debiting and crediting the sender and receivers.  Hence your idea of using a totally different GL/Cost element (of course that do not have postings with respect fo the internal order in question) is not practical, I hope.

  • Production Internal Order

    Hi Guys
    What is a production Internal order?
    how do costs flow to Internal orders and where do we settle these orders to.
    thanks
    srikanth

    Internal orders are normally used to plan, collect, and settle the costs of internal jobs and tasks. The SAP system enables you to monitor your internal orders throughout their entire life-cycle; from initial creation, through the planning and posting of all the actual costs, to the final settlement and archiving.
    Internal Order is one of the master data in controlling module.
    Assign Internal order to production order by selecting (either in CO01 or CO02)
    Header ---> Settlement Rule
    Enter ORD as Account Assignment category, Enter Internal Order Number in Settlement Receiver Field, Enter % and Enter Settlment Type.
    Carry out all production activities.
    After perfoming TECO, Execute Settlement Transaction KO88. The cost will be settled to internal order after performing K088 successfully.
    More Info about Internal Order:
    You can create an internal order to monitor the costs of a time-restricted job or the costs (and revenues, if required) for the production of activities. Internal orders can also be used for the long-term monitoring of costs.
    Overhead cost orders are used for the time-restricted monitoring of overhead costs (that are incurred when you execute a job) or for the long-term monitoring of parts of the overhead costs.
    Investment orders let you monitor investment costs that can be capitalized and settled to fixed assets.
    Accrual orders enable you to monitor period-related accrual calculation between expenses posted in Financial Accounting and the costing-based costs debited in Cost Accounting.
    Orders with revenues let you monitor costs and revenues that are incurred for activities for external partners, or for internal activities that do not form part of the core business for your organization.
    You can use model orders as a reference, when creating new internal orders.

  • Internal orders - what is its IDOC

    I want to create an internal order in finance/controlling. My scenario is to create a IDOC for internal orders in sap system. I am going to use IDOC sender adapter to post the data in SAP. Can some one tell me what is the IDOC type or IDOC I need to import into Integration Repository.
    Thanks,
    Reddy P

    Hi,
    It depends on what version of R/3 system you are using...
    See if your R/3 system has the IDoc types - INTERNAL_ORDER01 /INTERNAL_ORDER_CREATE01 / INTERNAL_ORDER_CREATE02...?
    These can be used..
    You can use FMs - IDOC_INPUT_INTERNAL_ORDER / IDOC_INPUT_INTERNAL_ORDER_CREA to post and create the internal orders
    Thanks.

  • Asset Postings on Statistical Internal orders

    Hi
    Is it possible to see asset transactions on a statistical internal order? I have assigned a statistical order on the asset master record but can not see the acquisition and other asset related postings on the order. Of course in all the postings there is a real CO object.
    Thanks

    Hi Sreenkanth
    I have used all the reports in Internal Orders including the one you suggest and what is happening is that all the cost elements that have been posted to are displayed in the report, but the asset statistical cost element shows no values. Even when you click on the amount field and call up another report  e.g. actual line items, which is what I think you meant by break up report, there are no values shown.
    Thanks

    Hi Pal,
    Many Thanks for your input, as per your recommendation
    Mani as you suggested ME2K was working fine, but anyway we need to drill down further to double of each field.
    As Nico suggested building a query, to view all at a same time is good & perfect to use.
    So please suggest me, what are the tables and fields map to build a query? because Itu2019s very easy for me to assign fast.

  • GR/IR -Internal Order

    I have done the following process:
    a) Created purchase requisition with account assignment catedory A and assigned AUC # and Internal Order #.
    Committments are getting booked at internal order. Looks fine.
    b) Created purchase order with reference of PR. Committment is transfered from PR to PO at internal order. Looks
    fine.
    c) When I am doing a GR for that AUC with ref to PO, AUC number and internal order # is assigned in GR document. In
    the accounting doc, AUC is getting debit and GR/IR account is getting credit.But neither internal order is showing
    up in the accounting document nor its updating committments at internal order.
    What's missing? How can i get the GR updated to internal order.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Please check all these are in sink or not?
    The acquisition transaction types in Asset Accounting have to be designated as relevant to the budget.
    The APC asset balance sheet accounts have to be defined as statistical cost elements.
    The APC asset balance sheet accounts have to have a field status group that should allow additional account assignment to orders

  • Gr/IR clearing for a PO with Internal Order assigment

    Hi,
    We settle Internal order (IO)  to fixed assets.  The settlement rule is to settle the COst Element to External account .Settlement receiver is Fixed asset account.
    The Asset procured using  Service PO and we assign the Internal Order  and account assignment category 'K'  for the PO . we receive GR  ( 1000 USD)and then IR ( 600) . IR is less than the GR and is more than the tolerance . In MIRO transaction we adjust the( line item  amount from 1000 to 600 to match with IR) and post the invoice of 600.
    Now GR/IR account there is a differece.
    When we try to run GR/IR the item is not selected for Clearing with a mesage the clearing cannot be carried out as the Cost element is assigned for External account and should  and hence it cannot be cleared.
    How do I run Gr/IR clearing to adjust the difference amount.
    What is the right way to use an Internal order  in a PO with accout assignment 'K" Is it not  the right way?
    I can think of 2 options biut both are not straight forward. Hope many of you would have faced similar situation and appreciate to get yr experience/Suggestion  for this. Anyhow I  put forth the following options  as below
    Option 1. Change the GL account assignment  in PO and then settle it. Pass a JV to adjust the difference beiween 2 GL accounts.
    Option 2  : Use a temp Interna Order for PO with different CE and then Transfer the amount from Temp IO to another IO which is having settlement rule to settle it to Fixed asset. so no  issue of clash of cost elements.
    Appreciate your early response on this

  • Error in Flow of Actual Values to Internal Orders

    Dear All,
    Please help me in this regard.
    _*Scenario*_
             My Client using Internal Orders for Procurement of Machinaries. So, while creating PO we are taking the account assignment category as F. (Internal Order)
    *Step 1*
             Against the PO, GR (MIGO) has been done for which in the accounting document IO & PO reference is also available.
    _*Step 2*_
            MIRO completed, and in the vendor invoice against the GR/IR Internal Order & PO reference is available.
    _*Check Points*_
            I've checked the Database Table EKKN, where in I am able to see the Internal Order liked with PO.
    _*Issue Facing*_
            Now, the user need to do the settlement of this IO to the respective GL account. But, when i checked the Basic Report for Internal Order Actual Line Items, like
                     KOB1, KSB5, S_ALR_87012993, S_ALR_87013011
            System is giving error as No Actaul Line Items Exists.
    Thanks.
    Talluri

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.
    I've checked the Controlling Document for Accounting Document of MIRO thru Relationship Browser, where i am finding the CO entry with Cost center only for Manual Tax entry.
    As per the standard entry is concern it should be:
            Internal Order & Cost Center Has to be Debited with the Net Amount of MIRO Document.
    Where in, as the user given the tax amount manual with seperate account, only that is reflecting in the CO document.
    What step can be done now, to make it proper.
    Please advice me.
    Thanks

  • Need help in understanding FA acquisition via Internal Order

    Hi Gurus
    I need your help in understanding the FA acquisition via Internal Order. The process we are following is that we create AUC using the AUC asset class and enter that AUC number in the settlement rule while creating IO. Once IO budget is approved, we release the IO. Once GR is completed, we do the Invoice receipt for the PO, followed by settlement of IO against the AUC. Afterwards, we create fixed asset in AS01 and enter this asset number in the settlement rule for the AUC in AIAB and settle the AUC to Fixed asset for the costs.
    My question is that during all this process, I don't see the PO information in the AUC record. When I display AUC, under the Enviornment tab, I see the Purchase order link but when I click it, there is nothing in there. The reason could be that we are creating AUC seperatly and not from within the IO where it says create AUC. I am not sure what is the best way for the whole process.
    I would be thankful if you can guide me.
    Thanks,
    Shalu

    Hi
    Can someone please help me with this issue?

    Hi Sreekanth,
    What is the setting needed to create AUC Automatically when an Internal order is created ?
    I have done all the setting, but still when I save Internal order neither AUC asset is getting created.
    So I went to extras selected create AUC and it went to AS01, but when I came back (F3) from AS01 to Internal Order and save , Auc Asset is not getting captured in the settlement rule. I even tried to give manually the AUC Asset in the settlement rule, for which sys is not allowing in the settlement rule.
    Any thoughts are highly appreciated
    Advance Thanks

  • Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure K1 for Internal Order

    Hi,
    During Internal order settlement through KO88 I am getting this error as :
    Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure K1
    Diagnosis :
    During settlement, the system puts the sender debits into groups  (assignments), which are settled using the same settlement cost element. The settlement assignment is made in the allocation structure, which is stored in the settlement rule for the sender (under settlement parameters). Cost element 430500 cannot be assigned to a settlement cost assignment in allocation structure K1, and therefore it cannot be assigned to a  settlement cost element.
    Procedure :
        Possible solutions are as follows:
        o   If the posting under cost element 430500 was made to the sender because of an incorrect entry, and you can reverse the posting, and do not need to update the allocation structure. You only need to reverse the incorrectly assigned posting before repeating the settlement. Exception: For an investment measure with a line item settlement, you need to extend the allocation structure, even after the reversal.
        o   If the posting was made correctly, you can do the following:
    a)  You can assign a different allocation structure to the sender: In the master data maintenance for the sender, choose
        "Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters" and then enter a different allocation structure.  If necessary, also check whether the correct allocation structure is entered in the settlement profile. The allocation structure is defaulted  in the settlement profile when you create sender master data or when you maintain the settlement  rule.
    -   You can update allocation structure K1
    The same configuration in  Development Server there is no error but problem occurs in Quality server. Here the process is Internal Order creation - Creation of Reservation through MB21- Goods Issue against reservation  through MB1A and finally settlement through KO88.  During settlement this error occur. In configuration setting of allocation structure under Internal Order I have mentioned only revenue settlement (as per business) against assignments. Under source mentioned cost element group and under settlement cost elment Receiver Cat is "CTR" and tick "By Cost Element".
    During MB1A i.e, goods issue accounting entry is generated as
    81(Dr). 430500 Constimptuion Saprae and Stores
    99(Cr). 310411 Inventory Machinery and Spare.
    During settlement this debit figure should credit. But not allowiing to credit. Even in configuration under settlement cost element if I remove the tick of "By cost element" and mention secondary gl account whose cost element category is 21, still showing the same error in QA server. What may be the probabale solution ? Even if i remove allocation structure K1 from settlement profile 20 still same error exist. How this link gets during settlment inspite of removing allocation structure from settlement profile...
    NB.. COPA is not implemented in our company. So PA structure should not arrise here....
    Thanks & regards,
    Samrat
    Edited by: Samrat Roy on Aug 30, 2010 7:28 PM

    Hi Samrat,
    The issue is very simple.. Cost element 430500  is posted in your IO...
    While settling you have 2 options... Either you can credit the original GL account 430500.. This happens when you tick "By Cost element".. This you have done already...
    2nd option is not to tick "By Cost element" and assign a secondary cost ele category 21...
    But for any of these options to work, you have to include GL 430500 in the "source"... The above 2 options apply only to those GL accounts which are mentioned in the "Source".... for rest of the GL accounts, system gives this error
    Include 430500 in your "source" cost ele group.. Error will be resolved

  • Problem while creating a new internal order. Please help! URGENT!!!

    Hi Experts,
    After creating internal orders the currency and cost center fields under control data tab are getting greyed out when I check it via KO02 transaction. The order status is "REL". This in turn is not allowing me to change currency and cost center via KO02. What could be the problem? Why these control data fields are getting greyed out or disabled? Is there any configuration problem? Kindly help ASAP!
    Actually I am creating the order via XI. The input order data is coming from a .Net application which sends the data to XI via webservice call. The XI then uses RFC BAPI "BAPI_INTERNALORDER_CREATE" to create the internal order in R/3 system.
    kindly help please!
