We would better P&L per department. For this, it seems crucial to work with inter-departmental billing, e.g. transport team billing the training team for a drive to town to drop some students at the hospital. There will be quite a number of such transactions, of three types

a) fixed costs which can be distributed by analytical distribution models --> OK

b) purchases, which should be immediately assigned to a department (e.g. IT team buying a laptop for a certain other department) --> laptop bill can just be booked straight on the respective department  --> OK

c) services, which are indirectly linked to cost (via salaries, material, maintenance, etc.), where internal pricing applies (e.g. cost plus)- transportation by company cars- food
- accomodation- hardware store material sales (for internal construction projects)
--> How could those be handled best?

1) Customer Invoices? --> here, some internal revenue and cost accounts would have to be created in the chart of accounts and used within an invoice, and then an invoice with your own company as customer to be chosen, and revenue assigned to one department(anayltical account) and cost to another? Can it work?

2) Analytical Items? Tedious, because two items to be booked for each transaction, one positive on one department, one negative on another department --> no "receipt"/document for the internal billing that could be used e.g. for project reporting

3) Other options? A module?

The effect we want is primarily to affect the P&L per analytical account/department.
