Collection Accounting Rules operate to collect the cost/revenue for the Invoice Items to which they apply to the relevant cost centers.

There are two different types of Collection Rules

• Collection - Cost - this is used to define the rules for cost collection
• Collection - Revenue - this is used to define the rules for revenue collection

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