Default partial invoice indicator (multiple account assgt.)

Determines how "partial" invoices (usually invoices for partial deliveries) are apportioned among the individual account assignments in the case of items with multiple account assignment.

In the case of multiple account assignment, you can apportion partial invoices among the individual accounts in one of two ways:

x in proportion to the planned quantity distribution

x on a "progressive fill-up" basis (here one account receives its full allocation before any costs are assigned to the next one; this process is repeated with successive partial invoices until all accounts have been charged.)

Note that if Logistics Invoice Verification is in use, apportionment is always on a proportional basis.

Procedure

If a "partial" invoice is entered, the system calculates the distribution of the costs at the time of invoice verification in accordance with the partial invoice indicator that has been set and suggests the relevant values for the individual accounts. You can overwrite these values if you wish the costs to be distributed in a different way to that planned in the purchase order.

Example

100 pcs. of a material are ordered for various cost centers as follows: 50 pcs. for cost center A, 40 pcs. for cost center B, and 10 pcs. for cost center C 10.

A "partial" invoice for $700 relating to a delivery of 70 pcs. is posted with reference to this purchase order. The invoice amount is distributed as follows:
