Distribution Accounting Rules operate to distribute the cost/revenue for the Invoice Items to the relevant cost center.

There are two different types of distribution rules

• Distribution - Cost - this is used to define the rules for cost distribution
• Distribution - Revenue - this is used to define the rules for revenue distribution

Set up your Distribution Rules

In order to create a rule, you need only to give your rule a name. To ensure the rule creates the correct Accounting Records, and it is matched to the correct Campaign Item, you can optionally enter the following:

• Account Number, Cost Center, Internal Order, etc
• A validity period
• If this is a Third Party Rule, please enter a TPC Account
• The applicable Publisher Payout Condition

• Dunning Block - check this checkbox if you like to block dunning for a rule. This field gets also copied into your Accounting Record

• Optionally, you can also add a description

Define the Matching Criteria

Here you can define the relevant matching criteria for your rule. This will ensure that correct records are made for the correct inventory. Read more in the Accounting Interface Matching & Transfer Fieldlist.

Depending on which process distribution rules are used in, they can make the following Accounting Records:

Whether the created Accounting Records are debit or credit depends on whether the matched items are positive or negative in value and the transaction type of the Media Campaign.
