 Analytic accounting

-project or service. When creating your journal entries, the analytic widget allows the distribution
-of costs in one or more analytic accounts.

+Analytic distribution models automatically apply a specific distribution based on defined criteria.
 
 To create a new analytic distribution model, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration -->
-Analytic Distribution Models`, click :guilabel:`New` and set the conditions your model has to meet
-to automatically apply:
-
-- :guilabel:`Accounts Prefix`: this analytic distribution will apply to all financial accounts
-  sharing the prefix specified;
-- :guilabel:`Partner`: select a partner for which the analytic distribution will be used;
-- :guilabel:`Partner Category`: this field is not visible by default: add it by clicking on the
-  columns selection button, and tick the :guilabel:`Partner Category` box. Add the partner category
-  for which the analytic distribution will be used;
-- :guilabel:`Product`: select a product for which the analytic distribution will be used;
-- :guilabel:`Product Category`: this field is not visible by default: add it by clicking on the
-  columns selection button, and tick the :guilabel:`Product Category` box. Select a product category
-  for which the analytic distribution will be used;
-- :guilabel:`Analytic`: add the analytic accounts and their distribution;
-- :guilabel:`Company`: select a company for which the analytic distribution will be used;
-- :guilabel:`Analytic Distribution`: if the above conditions are met, the :guilabel:`Analytic plan`
-  defined in this field as well as the distribution to be applied between the different analytic
-  accounts is selected automatically on the entry.
+Analytic Distribution Models`, click :guilabel:`New`, and set the conditions the model has to meet
+to apply automatically:
+
+.. note::
+   All specified conditions of an analytic distribution model must be met for the model to be
+   applied. To apply an analytic distribution model based on individual conditions, create separate
+   analytic distribution models for each condition.
+
+- :guilabel:`Accounts Prefix`: Apply the distribution model only to journal items involving an
+  account that begins with this prefix.
+- :guilabel:`Partner`: Apply the distribution model only to journal items involving this partner.
+- :guilabel:`Product`: Apply the distribution model only to journal items involving this product.
+- :guilabel:`Company`: In a :doc:`multi-company </applications/general/multi_company>` environment,
+  apply the distribution model only to journal items involving this company. To apply it across all
+  companies, leave the field blank.
+- :guilabel:`Analytic Distribution`: :ref:`Analytic distribution
+  <analytic_accounting/analytic-distribution>` that will be applied when the above conditions are
+  met.
+
+Then :guilabel:`Save`.
+
+.. example::
+   Any time a journal item is posted to the :guilabel:`Utilities (601000)` account, it should be
+   automatically distributed in the :guilabel:`Departments` analytic plan as follows:
+
+   - 60% to the :guilabel:`Manufacturing` analytic account
+   - 30% to the :guilabel:`Marketing` analytic account
+   - 10% to the :guilabel:`Admin` analytic account
+
+   To automate this distribution, the :guilabel:`Accounts Prefix` can be set to `601`, as
+   :guilabel:`Utilities (601000)` is the only account in the chart of accounts that begins with
+   `601`.
+
+   If additional accounts such as :guilabel:`Electricity (601100)` or :guilabel:`Gas (601200)` are
+   available in the chart of accounts, the distribution will also apply to both since they share the
+   same prefix.
+
+To define more criteria, use the :icon:`oi-settings-adjust` :guilabel:`(adjust settings)` icon to
+reveal more columns or click :guilabel:`View` on an individual analytic distribution model.
+
+- :guilabel:`Partner Category`: Apply this distribution model only to journal items involving a
+  partner in this category.
+- :guilabel:`Product Category`: Apply this distribution model to journal items involving a product
+  in this category.
 
 .. tip::
-   To **mass edit** several entries simultaneously, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Accounting
-   --> Journal items`, and select the ones that need to be updated. Add the required distribution in
-   the :guilabel:`Analytic Distribution` column, and click on the :guilabel:`floppy disk` icon to
-   save. The analytic distribution template pops up, and you can save it for later use.
+   Alternatively, it is possible to create an analytic distribution model from the
+   :guilabel:`Analytic` window by clicking :guilabel:`New Model`:
+
+   - either when creating an invoice/bill and filling in the :ref:`analytic distribution
+     <analytic_accounting/distribution-invoices-bills>`;
+   - or when :ref:`mass-editing analytic accounts <analytic_accounting/distribution-mass>` in
+     several entries simultaneously.
