Correcting Document Splitting

Hi Gurus,
I have the following issue at hand:
We posted several general ledger documents, however, the document splitting rules were incorrect and thus a great number of the documents were split incorrectly.
I have corrected the document splitting rules but need to correct the historical data.
Is there a way of correcting the new G/L Tables (FAGLFLEXA, FAGLFLEXT etc) based on the entry document view related tables (BSIS)?
Is there a standard program that compares the account assignments in entry view and the general ledger view?
Please also suggest how best I can correct the errors.
For a clearer understanding look at the following scenario:
Entry View
Line   Account      Amount       Profit Center   Segment
1      482000121    100               10234009          023
2      Account B    -50                10014009          001
3      Account C    -50                10014009          001
SAP Settings
In SAP Document splitting is active, Zero Balance Clearing per profit center.
The profit centers are attached to segments for segment reporting, however, since balance per profit center is active, the balance per segment was not activated. Please comment on this logic so that I can correct myself if the logic will not fly.
Based on the defined document splitting rules, the following was posted in the General ledger view
General ledger view
Line   Account      Amount       Profit Center   Segment
1      482000121    100            10234009         001
2      Account B    -50             10014009         001
3      Account C    -50             10014009         001
Note:
The profit center was inherited from the base item number 3. Which makes the profit center and subsequently the segment reporting incorrect.

Document Split for Manually Cleared Items

Hi SDN,
Is there a way to inherit the document splitting characteristics for manually cleared items? To give you an example, please see below scenario in General Ledger View
Invoice
Dr Expense                 Cost ctr 10001
Cr Trade Creditors      Cost ctr 10001 (inherited from expense item)
Payment
Dr Trade Creditors       (no cost center assigned)
Cr Outgoing Bank          (no cost center assigned)
Manual Clearing of vendor items via F-04
Dr Trade Creditors        (no cost center assigned)
Cr Trade Creditors        Cost ctr 10001
Dr Zero Balance Clrg    Cost ctr 10001
Cr Zero Balance Clrg    (no cost center assigned)
This scenario happens since the company has instances where payment comes first before the actuall invoice. In this instance, the document split function won't properly reflect the correct cost center assignment.
Is there a way for this to be inherited even for manual clearing (just like the one for bank reconciliation process wherein the cost/profit center assignments are inherited on the clearing items)
Thanks

Hello,
Yes, you can have profit center as a characteristic for splitting and inheritance too. Your scenario will work as below:
Invoice:
Dr Expense 1000 CC1   PC1
Cr A/C Pay   1000          PC1
In above invoice PC1 will be inherited from the expense line in which the user will need to enter the cost center, and profit center will be derived from the Cost Center master.
You make a payment:
Dr Vendor 1000      PC1
Cr Bank      1000    PC1
In above scenario, user needs to give a profit center in bank line manually or it can be automatically derived using FAGL3KEH setting for bank accounts. From bank line the profit center will be inherited to the vendor line.
Finally when you try to clear the vendor items using F-44, following entry will be passed:
Dr Vendor 1000 PC1
Cr Vendor 1000 PC1
Only if the profit center entered during the payment and invoice are separate, zero balance clearing lines will be hit.

Sam

Document split for previous year open item

Dear All,
We have upgraded from 4.6 to ecc 6.0 .I have a problem of document splitting .
Suppose there is open item of previous year i.e vendor and after 1.4.09 the liability is transferred to another vendor the system gives me error that' profit center field in line item 001 is not filled' which seems correct as open item before 1.4.2009 does not have profit center.If the same liability is paid through bank than bank a/c is maintained in 3kei and document gets posted.
Also when salary is paid ,some salary is deducted for paying lic premium so salary payable account is credited on 31.3.09 and after 1.4.09 the same a/c is debited and credit is given to LIC OF INDIA.
Both payable a/c and lic of india are balance sheet items and system gives me error while posting the documents.
If the same transactions are after 1.4.09 the system inherits prctr from previous transactions but since in above examples there is no prctr in previous documents the system throws error message
'profit center field in line item 001 is not filled' .
Kindly provide me suggestions
Thanks and regards
vijay

Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
Yes we have migrated on 1.4.2009 and test migration have been performed .
But my client is to close books of accounts so it is having the said requirement of vendor to vendor transffer,kindly suggest me other alternative

Business Area and Profit Center In Document Splitting

Hi,
We are using Business area and Profit Center characteristics for document splitting.
In one transaction, the Business area and profit centers are defaulted through the cost center.
The document is successfully split in respect of the business area, but the profit center is not filled, thereby giving error while posting.
Please suggest.

Hi,
Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
Please let us know the reason..

Document Splitting on Clearing Open Items of Customer

Hi,
Computation of our Creditable Withholding Tax is upon payment of the customer. In case of accomodated for multiple profit centers, CEWT is splitted to all profit centers included in the clearing. Please see my illustration
Accomodated payment- Entry View
Cash/Check       Profit Center 1
     A/R-Tenant                    Profit Center 2
     A/R-CEWT                     Profit Center 2
     A/R-Tenant                    Profit Center 3
     A/R-TEnant                    Profit Center 4
When we check the entry in General Ledger View, CEWT is splitted to all the profit centers even if only profit center 2 should only have the CEWT. The should be -CEWT of example 500.00 is splitted in such a way that the CEWT of Profit Center 1 will only be 150.00
Entry is
Cash/Check              Profit Center 1
     A/R-Tenant                   Profit Center 2
     A/R-CEWT                    Profit Center 2
     A/R-Tenant                   Profit Center 3
     A/R-CEWT                    Profit Center 3
    A/R-TEnant                   Profit Center 4

Document Splitting Profit center not filled in.

Hi All,
I wanted to check one scenario:
I have document splitting activated on profit center field.
I am trying to post a document as under:
Line items as in <<<<entry view>>>>>
Expense    Act     Dr 100         (CC1) (assigned to PC1)
Expense    Act     Dr   200        (CC1) (assigned to PC1)
Expense    Act     Dr 300         (CC2) (assigned to PC2)
Balance sht Act   Cr 400         (PC1)
Balance sht Act   Cr   500        (PC1)
          To Vendor Act     Cr   1500
When I am posting this transaction system is giving me a error as Balancing field PC not filled in document splitting.
My doubt is whether this error is correct in given scenario or can we determine a different profit center for the vendor line item in GL view in the given scenario.
I already have defined a clearing account for document splitting.
Your comments /feedback are highly appreciated.
Thanks
Sameer

i have doubt in your balance sheet items, what is that items are meant for?
Elaborate the scenario so that help us to answer to your question.

New General Ledger - Document splitting

Suppose a vendor invoice of 1,000 EUR assigned to 2 cost centers, CC1 and CC2 (500 EUR on each). The corresponding profit centers are PC1 and PC2.
Entry view:
PK Acct Amt CC PC
31 Vendor -1000
40 Charges +500 CC1 PC1
40 Charges +500 CC2 PC2
As a result of document splitting, the system splits the vendor line item in two parts: 500 EUR on CC1 (>PC1) and 500 EUR on CC2 (>PC2):
General Ledger view (document splitting):
PK Acct Amt CC PC
31 Vendor -500 CC1 PC1
31 Vendor -500 CC2 PC2
40 Charges +500 CC1 PC1
40 Charges +500 CC2 PC2
We now enter a partial (manual) payment of 500 EUR relating to only one cost center (CC1).
The following is the result of document splitting:
General Ledger view:
PK Acct Amt CC PC
25 Vendor +250 CC1 PC1
25 Vendor +250 CC2 PC2
50 Bank -250 CC1 PC1
50 Bank -250 CC2 PC2
But if we draw a report by vendor by profit center, this is not correct. So, what I would like to have as a result of document splitting is:
PK Acct Amt CC PC
25 Vendor +500 CC1 PC1
25 Vendor 0 CC2 PC2
50 Bank -250 CC1 PC1
50 Bank -250 CC2 PC2
and the system geenrates then two additional clearing line items in the document:
40 Clg line item -250 CC1 PC1
50 Clg line item +250 CC2 PC2
Does someone have an idea on how to have the amount of 500 on only one cost center (with new GL customizing or else)?
Many thanks
Vincent

Dear Vincent,
You are way ahead of me, I am caught up at the below basic level
Entry view: ( basic data entry - FB60)
PK Acct Amt CC PC
31 Vendor 1000
40 Charges 500 CC1 PC1
40 Charges 500 CC2 PC2
From the above how to get the doc split as you have correctly shown below. I have done complete Doc split config, Controlling config etc in my co code, but some ever some settings are not done, hence perhaps I cannot see the doc split.
Your advise would be of immense help to me.
Cheers

Issue with Document Splitting

HI All,
After I activated Document Splitting, I have posted an Invoice(F-43). It has splitted correctly.
31 Vendor      PC1 20,000 Dr
31 Vendor      PC2 10,000 Dr
40 Exp A/c1 PC1   20,000
40 Exp A/c2 PC2   10,000
When I'm making payment through F-53, Its not splitting correctly. Below is the enry I am getting.
Its not splitting the amount made from Bank. In F-53, In Profit Center field, I gave PC2.
Pls let me know what mistake I made in Configuration.
and why Its showing Zero Balance Clearing A/c in this entry.
50 Bank A/c                             30,000
25 Vendor A/c                         20,000
25 Vendor A/c                         10,000
50 Zero Balance clearing A/c 10,000
40Zero Balance clearing A/c   10,000
Niranjan Yandamuri

Hi Niranjan,
Split Processor basically does two things: splitting a document line item or adding balancing entries for selected dimentions (profit center, etc). Split Processor determines whether a line needs to be split based on Split Rule. A Sprilt Rule is assigned to Business Transactions, A Business Transaction with a Variant defines which Item Categories are avalable for Split Rule to split or not split.
Here is the documentation for Item Category:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/ee/79c5c00ca249b783bc74fff0e484aa/frameset.htm
Here is the concept of document splitting:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/87/3da04028f40160e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Here is how to configure document split process:

Document splitting not working in MIGO/MIRO

Hi Experts,
I have the following PO, Account Assignment Categories, F: Expected double entries are as follows:
MIGO:
Debit GL: Expense
Credit GRIR:
MIRO:
Debit GRIR:
Credit Vendor
At my expese GL, I have cost center filled in; and in entry view I can read the cost center / profit center (and also segment) in MIGO / MIRO double entry.
Problem: But, when I click on the General Ledger view, both MIGO/MIRO double entries do not have profit center/segment split. All of the cost objects (cost center, profit center, segment) do not exist in the General ledger view (these fields are blank).
Question:
Does anyone have any idea?
I believe this should be document splitting settings which are not correctly. Therefore, does anyone have working splitting method of these MIGO/MIRO function?
Thanks in advance,
sbmel

Dear,
Please check what is the splitting characteristics you have defined in
SPRO>IMG> Financial Accounting (New)> General Ledger Accounting (New)> Business transaction>Document Splitting>Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting, check whether you have defined Proce Center and Segment as the characteristics or not.

Document splitting with constants

We are working on a document splitting project on ERP 2005.
Most of the config has been done and we are now testing.
The only scenario that is not working is where a profit center value is not entered in the journal but derived through a constant.
I have created a constant Z001, for a PC in the only Controlling Area.
There is no problem with the GL account, the account type, splitting rule, transaction and variant.
At GL view PC is a required field and in the constant rule I have created I have assigned a PC say 1000. When I post my journal it says
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled
I can confirm the splitting method has the constant in it and inheritance ticked.
What have I missed?

Hi,
In first line item you enter the Profit Center in Profit center field.
And I am trying to do this document splitting, everything i configured and posted the document, but when i view in GL a/c view it is not showing the splitting mode. So if u got the correct result then
Please send the documentation with step by step process and how to enter the data in the system.

New GL document split-doubt

Dear all,
We are planning to configure New PC functionality on ECC6 system.
Segments are the locations/regions in which we have plants
Profit centers are product groups.
Now all the CC , PC and segments have been derived. Document splitting characteristics are based on Profit center and segment fields which are mandatory field and zero balance check also being activated. All the postings are happening correctly.
I have a doubt now: since bank and cash accounts are defined at Company code level if I have to make a contra posting how does the sytem derives profit center and thus segments?
In such cases where amounts cannot be assigned to any particular profit center or segment how is it possible to get complete balance sheet at segment level?
Please clarify.
Points will be awarded for useful answers
Thanks,
Vamsi

Thanks Marc for that Info.
Yes the only alternative in such cases is to assign a default PC and then adjust to segments later on.
In that case we will not be able to reconcile the balance sheet values for segments against the company code, since there will always be some amount left unposted on segments.
If you can throw some more light with some real scenarios that would be much more helpful.
Here is my mail id: [email protected]
Thanks,

Document Splitting with Different Business Area

HI
I have a situation, where i need to create a new document type and it needs to be configured in such a way that vendor invoices and credit notes can be booked with the correct doc splitting and using different Business Areas.
I like to know if this is possible, and if yes how.
Earlier the client used to post the transactions, with different business areas, as we get only a warning message to reset the business area of the vendor.
Now that we have activated New G/L accounting, with document splitting we get the warning message,
but then the profit center will not balance, so we have an error.
The client requires that they need to post to a different business area, and the document splitting should happen.
Any suggestions on this will be great.

Hi Srikanth,
In my config setting under Document Splitting i have the Zero Balance ticked for it.
My Scenario is as an Ex. I am debiting a G/L account for 1000, and giving Business Area X, with a cost Center which is assigned to Business Area X.
And Crediting a Vendor for 1000 with Business Area Y.
Will this scenario work with Document Splitting enabled, i am doubtful on this, but my client needs this.
Can you tell me if this is a possible scnerio.
If yes then how?

Can you check if table entry in FAGL_ACTIVEC is correct? If doc-split is active with split method, you should see something like:

Document Splitting Rule

hi all
What is Document Splitting Rule?
regards
ch.suresh

Document splitting allows to display documents using a differentiated representation. In the representation, line items are split according to selected dimensions. In this way, one can draw up complete financial statements for the selected dimensions at any time.
Using the document splitting procedure, one can also create a segmented display of a (partial) balance sheet according to a set of legal requirements (for example, IAS) or according to areas of responsibility.
In addition, one can allocate at the time of posting additional costs (such as realized or valuated exchange rate differences) to the CO account assignment objects to which the costs relate. Assets can also be subsequently capitalized at the time of posting.
Document splitting has an effect on subsequent processes, such as closing operations, and on processes in Controlling (CO). One can use the document splitting procedure to split up line items for selected dimensions (such as receivable lines by profit center) or to effect a zero balance setting in the document for selected dimensions (such as segment). This generates additional clearing lines in the document.
For document splitting to be possible, the system classifies the individual line items as well as the documents. This takes place using settings in Customizing. Depending on how a document is classified, the splitting rule selected for a document specifies how the document is split and for which line items.
In the Implementation Guide, choose Financial Accounting (New) ® General Ledger Accounting (New) ® Business Transactions ® Document Splitting.
For more information on all the Customizing settings, see also the IMG documentation of the relevant IMG activity.
1. Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting
One needs to classify the individual document items so that the system knows how to handle them. One can do this by assigning them to an item category. The item category is determined by the account number. In this IMG activity, one needs to assign the appropriate accounts.
2. Classify Document Types for Document Splitting
Every business transaction that is entered is analyzed during the document splitting process. In this process, the system determines which splitting rule is applied to the document. To enable the system to determine the splitting rule, one needs to assign a business transaction variant to each document type.
3. Define Zero-Balance Clearing Account
Here one defines a clearing account for account assignment objects for which you want to have a zero balance setting when the balance is not zero.
4. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting
Here specify to which document splitting characteristics document splitting applies, for example, profit center or segment. The characteristics that are specified should be maintained in at least one of the ledgers. one determines which characteristics are maintained in ledger by assigning scenarios or customer fields to ledgers.
5. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling
Here specify which additional characteristics are required to be applied in document splitting. The additional characteristics are not relevant for General Ledger Accounting. Instead, they are relevant for components in Controlling that use documents transferred from General Ledger Accounting.
The selected characteristics are only transferred to the specified line items when the account to which the postings are to be made can also take the characteristics.
6. Define Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount to Assets
Here define whether the cash discount that is applied in the payment of an asset-relevant invoice should be capitalized to the asset. When one selects this setting, the cash discount amount is not posted to the cash discount account in the payment document, but instead directly to the asset.
7. Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes
Here define default account assignments (for example, a default segment) for specific line items in processes for which it is not possible to derive the correct account assignments at the time when the document is posted. This is the case if the required information is not yet available when the posting occurs.
8. Activate Document Splitting
In this IMG activity, activate document splitting. The splitting method used is that delivered by SAP as standard, which contains the splitting rules for the different business transactions. If this splitting method does not meet requirements,first define and then select own method in Customizing for document splitting
9. Settings for Extended Document Splitting
Here define own rules for document splitting and make the necessary settings so that the system applies the rules defined and not the SAP standard rules.
9. Define Splitting Method
Here define own method for document splitting. A splitting method contains the rules governing how the individual item categories are dealt with.
10. Define Splitting Rule
Here define the splitting rules for document splitting.Assign one or more business transaction variants, the account key for the zero balance setting, and the leading item categories for cross-company code transactions to a splitting method.
11. Assign Splitting Method
Here assign the splitting method to be used for document splitting after activation. If one wants to activate own splitting method, replace the standard method with own method.
12. Define Business Transaction Variants
Here one can define business transaction variants for the business transactions in document splitting
