Internal Orders
Internal Orders are flexible CO objects used to plan, collect and monitor costs (and sometimes revenues) for a specific task, event, or short-term project, independent of the permanent organizational structure. This topic covers order types and master data, planning and budgeting, actual posting and integration with FI/MM/HR, settlement to cost centers/assets/G-L, period-end processing, and how Internal Orders behave under the S/4HANA Universal Journal compared to classic ECC CO-OM.
