The Jordan decomposition states that a function $f: R\to R$ is of bounded variation if and only if it can be written as the difference of two monotone increasing functions.
In this paper we generalize this property to real valued $BV$ functions of many variables, extending naturally the concept of monotone function. Our result is an extension of a result obtained by Alberti, Bianchini and Crippa.
A counterexample is given which prevents further extensions.
Keywords: Jordan decomposition., $BV$ functions, Monotone functions.
