Why you need Internal Orders

Cost elements alone cannot track necessary data
Cost Centers are not detailed enough to analyse more detailed info
You cannot assign a budget amount to cost centers or cost elements
You have Project Systems to track large complex project costs, but
not for short-temporary projects
Hence, you need another cost object to track these costs
Example: Vehicles, Telecom towers, Marketing Campaigns and
Promotions

Real Orders
When you create the internal order master record you choose
whether its going to be Real or Statistical
You can also default this via the Order Types properties in
customization
Real orders can collect costs and settle to a receiver (e.g. Cost
Center)
You must assign a company code to the Real order at the time of
creation.

MNM Resources

Statistical Orders
At the time of financial posting you need to specify a real cost
object (e.g. a cost center) when you post to a statistical order
You can also assign the cost center in the statistical order master
data
You cannot settle or allocate to statistical orders

Status Management for Internal Orders

Every order has its own life cycle. Created, costs are posted, settled
and closed.
The status management tells you what stage the order is and
controls the business transactions
There are four standard system status settings: (you can create
more if you want)
1. Created
2. Released
3. Technically Complete
4. Closed
