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

Two Types of Distribution Rules: Cost and Revenue

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

• The applicable Publisher Payout Condition
