Prerequisites

Before you split an order item, you must have assigned the order item to a job.

Activities

  • On the Split tab page, you enter the order type, the bill-to party /parties, and the split percentages.

Note

For a split header with order type Service Contract Release Order (2003), you need a bill-to party with a valid service contract number and item, since this order type requires the account assignment category Contract (25).

  • You assign one or more jobs to the split you created. By double-clicking on the split header, you can copy the data to the split header details and edit the data. To add another bill-to party, create a new split header and assign the relevant jobs to it.
  • When you bill the service contract release order, you can bill the split orders separately (partially) or together (completely).
  • After billing, you can see the bill-to party internal orders in the document flow. Depending on the order type of the split order, the following documents are also available:
    • Split order with order type 2000: Invoice SD
    • Split order with order type 2003 or 4000: Internal billing document, if you have selected the Internal Billing checkbox in Customizing.
  • In the cost analysis of the service contract release order, you can see that the balance is zero if you double-click on the header internal order. By double-clicking on each bill-to party internal order, you can see the costs and any revenues that were transfer posted, depending on the split percentages selected.

For split combinations in which you assigned a service contract number and item, you can either see the revenues (Internal Billing selected) or the costs (Internal Billing not selected) in the cost analysis of the relevant service contract. In the former case, this is done using primary cost transfer posting; in the latter case by settling the costs to the service contract. To display the cost analysis of the service contract, call up the contract, select the relevant item, and choose Environment > Cost Report. In the Total Actual Costs column, you see the same amount that is in the VSS order with order type 2003 (Service Contract Release Order).
