Doc Splitting - Intercompany Vendor Invoice

Question

I am stuck with an issue while posting an inter-company vendor invoice involving two expense line items. 
I have created two debit line items as follows:
40   40000601    service expenses    1000.00      1200 (co.code)
40    4000601     service expenses    1000.00       1400 (co.code)
31       7009        Vendor Colt              2000.00       1200(co.code)
However, while simulating the items for posting, vendor item is not split and each company codes and posting is not permitted saying that no unique company code assignment is found in Company.
Anybody please help me out by telling the splitting rule for this inter-company vendor invoice posting which will help to split the item and posting could be done.

Answer 1

Hi,
  vendor line item is displayed only in the paying company code document information and in the other company code it will be clearing with the paying company code.
For eg:
    Buildings a/c (for company code 1000)  Dr  1500
    Buildings a/c (for company code 2000) Dr  1500
          To Vendor a/c 3000
This is my actual entry.
If my paying company is 1000 then the vendor invoice will be posted completely to the company 1000.
and in the company code 2000 a clearing with company 1000 a/c for Rs 1500 will be generated according to our configuration settings.
System Entries will be:
in company code 1000
Buildings a/c    Dr  1500
Clearing a/c with 2000 Dr 1500
   to Vendor a/c    3000
in company code 2000
Buildings a/c    Dr  1500
  to Clearing a/c with 1000  1500
So there is no Question of Vendor splitting as the invoice is paid by single company.
I think below information will be useful for you.
The way SAP FICO works is that it posts a accounting document in each company code rather than one single posting document. This is beacuse in SAP FICO, one accounting document is always assigned to one company code. A question naturally comes to mind as to how do the debits and credits match i.e. how do accounts balance. To balance accounts, SAP FICO automatically generates line item entries which are posted to a clearing account. Such clearing accounts are normally payables or receivable accounts within company codes. SAP FICO tags cross company code transactions with a common cross company code transaction number for reference. Some examples of cross company code transactions are:
1. Goods are sold by one company code to the another company code.
2. Goods are purchased by one company code from the other company code.
3. One company code makes a payment on behalf of another company code.
