Document Split for Manually Cleared Items

Question

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.
