Document Splitting Characteristics

What does the zero balance indicator do when defining document splitting characteristics for GL? For example if we were splitting by Segment what is the significance of checking of the zero balance indicator? How is the partner field used on that same line item? What does the mandatory field do?

HI,
1. Mandatory check box.
If the indicator is set, then all postings where no value is set for the specified field after document splitting are rejected with an error message.
2. zero
When you set the indicator, the system checks during posting whether the balance for the characteristic is equal to zero. If this is not the case, the system generates in the document additional clearing lines on clearing accounts that achieve the zero balance.
3. partner.
If you specify a partner field, a sender/receiver relationship is then documented in the additionally created clearing lines.

Define document Splitting Characteristics

Hi guru
I need to create as characteristic the field WBS (PSPNR)
In SPRO: Define document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting I can select as field only the following values:
Segment
Profit center
Business Area
Can I select a new entries? I need to insert the field WBS (PSPNR)
Thank you
Edited by: Rossella Fiorella on Aug 24, 2011 11:33 PM

Hi Rossella,
you can create a wbs balance sheet using New General Ledger functionality adding the customer field ZZPS_PSP_PNR to the total table FAGLFLEXT using FAGL_GINS transaction.
Then you must assign this field to one scenario active for your ledger. If necessary add the filed in the balace sheet report in customizing.

Deactivate document splitting for company code in IDES

Hi,
am not able to deactivate document splitting. When I try to deactivate and then save an error pop up show the message 'Define the commitment item as a document splitting characteristics ' .
The path for Deactivating the Doc splitting is
SPRO---Financial Accounting(New) --- GL Accounting(New) -Business transactions-- Document splitting -
Activate document splitting------ Double click on Deactivation per company code.
When i try in this path it will not allow me to save and it will not allow me to post any g/l entry also.
Please Advise.

I think the error is coming due to the other company codes for which document splitting is active. Because, when you save (after deactivating doc split for your company code), I guess the system is checking the properties for other company codes in the same screen for which doc split is not deactivated.
What document splitting characteristics do you have in your system? And what are the settings there? Check in SPRO -> Financial Accounting (New) -> GL Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for GL Accounting. My guess is there is nothing in there. Create (may be, PRCTR) as your document splitting characteristic, save, and then try deactivating doc split for your company code in the IMG node that you mentioned. Not sure if this is the reason, but no harm in trying!

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 Splitting: Assignment of Constant

Hi Experts,
We are having an issue with document splitting for Incoming Payments:
We have configured the following:
A. Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes
- Assigned a Default Profit Center to Controlling Area
B. Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Activate Document Splitting
- Document Splitting Active for Method 0000000012
- Inheritance is on
- Standard a/c assignment is on, and the constant in A above is assigned <<<ISSUE>>>
The F1 Help on the 'Standard a/c assignment' check box states "Do not set this indicator if you have defined it as a required entry field in the activity for defining document splitting characteristics ."
Profit Center is flagged as required in "defining document splitting characteristics "
What is the risk of doing the above?

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi,
Since you have not provided any profit center during bank statement upload (as it just a posting, not referring any line item), profit center should be derived from either default (FAGL3KEH) or from constant assignment.
I would suggest to update the profit center through EBS search string (target as 'profit center) based on any reference from bank statement instead of going for a constant only for this scenario. You may refer below link for search string set up.

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..

Problem with document splitting and zero balance clearing account

Hi SAP Gurus,
We've already configured the document splitting functionality in our project, however we still encounter some issues with the outcome of posting documents. For some scenarios, the document split functionality seem to work. Below is such example
Scenario # 1
Entry View:
40 Expense (cost ctr 0001)
31 AP
GL view:
40 Expense (cost ctr 0001)
31 AP (cost ctr 0001)
However, whenever 2 GL items are included in the document, the document split functionality acts differently.
Scenario # 2
Entry View:
40 Expense # 1 (cost ctr 0001)
40 Expense #2 (cost ctr 0002)
31 AP
GL view:
40 Expense # 1 (cost ctr 0001)
40 Expense #2 (cost ctr 0002)
31 AP (no cost ctr assignment)
40 Zero Balance Clrg (no cost ctr assignment)
50 Zero Balance Clrg (cost ctr 0001)
40 Zero Balance Clrg (no cost ctr assignment)
50 Zero Balance Clrg (cost ctr 0002)
I was just wondering how come the AP item did not split accordingly to the cost center indicated in the entry view. Can anyone please assist me on this one? Thanks in advance and best regards.

Hi Milind,
Thanks for the reply.
I've done the below configuration and assigned cost/profit center update. It now works for profit center split. It still does not split accordingly per cost center though.
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Ledgers >Ledger > Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers
In the below configuration, cost center is not an available option. Unlike the profit center which is available here.
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting
The profit center split looks fine now, however the cost center split still is only reflected in the expense items and not on the AP item.
Any ideas on how to actually split the AP line items according to the cost center assignments ?

Document Splitting

Dear Experts,
I am having the following requirement.
We are using the Document Splitting in ECC 6.0. While posting the IS-U invoices, Define Document Splitting Characteristics are derived. like Profit center and segment based on the divisions.
When I post the payment document with reference to the above invoices, payment document is not splitted as per the invoice line items.
I would like to know, Is there any settings are avaialble to derive the profit center and segment in the payment document?
or Is there any functional event to enhance to derive the profit center and segment in the payment document?
Small input also highly appreciated.
Thanks
Aswin

In EHP4 there is a fucntionaliyt of defaulting the account assignment the table is TFK100K .
Go to SM30 key in TFK100K and maintain the entries cash desk wise over there .
Secondly , the contract has the fields of Segement and Profit center for which you will have to maintain the settings at - SPRO - Financial accounting new - contract account receivable and payable - basic functions - postings and documents - document - define account assingnment for automatic posting - maintain the settings for CO under the nodes availabe there .
Now in EK02 you will have to set the settings w/o account assignment - if you want the system to derive the CO objects for contract , else in EK02 you can make the default settings .
In case of payments you can use the event - 114 for coding you customer specific requirements .
Check for note no. 1454530 and 1468167 for more information on co account derivation .

Document splitting not happening in New G/L

Hi
I have done all the below settings for document splitting.But still document splitting is not happening for vendor.For example,I am posting the following entry.
Using FB60 Tcode
Cr Vendor 100
Dr G/L       60   (cost center 1)&(Profit center 1)
Dr G/L       40   (cost center 2)&(profit center 2)
when simulating I am expecting vendor entry also to be split and shown as
Cr Vendor 60 (profit center 1)
cr vendor 40 (profit center 2)
Dr   G/L    60
Dr   G/L   40.
But it is not spliiting Vendor.It is showing vendor as 100 but splitting the 60&40 to the ZERO balance clearing account( as configured in ZERO balance clearing account step.)
why is vendor split not happening/Is there any thing I am missing?
Config steps done are as below.
The Steps to follow are:
1. Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting
2. Classify Document Types for Document Splitting
3. Define Zero-Balance Clearing Account 4. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting
5.. Activate Document Splitting
thanks

Hi thanks all.
Sorry,I am new to new G/L concept and document splitting.Can you please check my following settings and confirm if they are fine.(I am doing in plain IDES system).
1.Financial accounting(new)>G/L accounting (new)>Business transaction>Document splitting>classify G/L Accounts for document splitting>>
I have classified G/L Expenses accounts which I am using under tcode FB60(for simulation of document splitting) with category as 20000 u2013expense.Also I have given Vendor reconciliation account under category 01000-balance sheet account?
Please clarify how the G/L accounts classified here?
2. Financial accounting(new)>G/L accounting (new)>Business transaction>Document splitting> Classify FI document types for splitting.
Many standard documents are defined.But I thought since I am using FB60 tcode it used doc type KR so mentioned mentioned transaction as 0300 and variant as 0001 -Vendor invoice
3. Financial accounting(new)>G/L accounting (new)>Business transaction>Document splitting>>Define ZERO balance clearing account
Here standard system has account key 000(standard account for ZERO balance) with PK40/50 and G/L account for my chart of accounts is mentioned.
4. Financial accounting(new)>G/L accounting (new)>Business transaction>Document splitting >>Define splitting characters for G/Lu2019s
Here I have mentioned Profit center field (ZERO balance ticked)&mandatory field ticked.no other fields defined.
5. Financial accounting(new)>G/L accounting (new)>Business transaction>Document splitting >>Edit constants for non assigned processes
Here I have added my controlling area and left profit center field as blank.
Please check above settings and suggest me if I am missing any thing?All I am trying to do is post a simple test entry using FB60 and show the document splitting based on just profit center.

Problem with document splitting

Hi,
I am encountering a problem with document splitting, where in while doing clearing of down payment against miro invoice profit center of first line item is over ridding profit center of second line item (line items are two different materials in purchase order).

Hi,
Settings provided in document splitting rules are all standard sap ones.
Please use document splitting method 0000000012 and dont change any of the base item and item category.
Only make the following updations in document splitting node in SPRO:
a) Classify G/L accounts for document splitting
b) Define Zero balance clearing account
c) Define Document splitting characteristics for General Ledger Accounting and ensure to select profit center and segment as zero balance and mandatory field as ticked.
d) Activate document splitting
Apart from these, it is not necessary to change any of the document splitting details.
Assign points if useful.

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.

SAP New GL Document Splitting with WBS Element

Dear Experts,
In my company, current document splitting is defined as follows:
“Document Splitting Characteristics for GL Accounting” is at Profit Center & Segment Level
“Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling” is at Cost Center Level
Please can someone confirm I can bring over the Document Splitting at WBS Level as well? And if so, I will have to create them under “Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling” and provide "WBS Element" in addition to "Cost Center"
Secondly, if I go and change the config, is there any other config I need to change or update?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Raj
Check the Field Status Group of the highlighted GL account.. Is wbse set to optional? Is it a balance sheet account?
If yes, then its justified that wbse is not populated.
Document Splitting chars for controlling has a different purpose
