Error : Balancing field "Profit Center" in the line item 001 not filed

Question

Hello
The said error have come under Customer credit memo process for retune of excess tax deduction on billing through T/code VF02. Our system had activated GL splitting. The document line item views are
Customer  Cr xxxxx
To    CS Tax return Dr xxxxx
the Tax GL a/c is Balance sheet. Both a/c s are not assigned with default Pctr.
If we are assign the tax g/l with default Pctr table then system have post doc.  as properly.
But we would like to avoid the same. Because the Tax a/c is not specific Pctr related it is depend on
income / expense GL a/c .
Please advise how to solve this, if any enhancement is available then mentioned.
Regards

Hi
What is the Document Splitting method you are using? Are you using your own created splitting method or SAP Std? If you are using your own, than in that case for Item Category of Tax on Sales/Purchase, add allowed Business Transaction as revenue also. You can find the same in IMG>Financial Accounting (New)>General Ledger Accounting (New)>Business Transactions>Document Splitting>Extended Document Splitting>Assign Item Category to Splitting Method.
If you are using the standard splitting method, system will not allow you to change the allowed business transaction. In that case, if you want profit center to derive from material, you need to open a new gl account and assign the same in VKOA. Thereafter, to this gl account assign the item category as Revenue. System will derive the Profit Center from material master.
In your presentation of final accounts, you can club the two accounts of Tax and Tax returns under one head.
If either of the two options do not work, than i guess assignment of a default profit center in FAGL3KEH is one option. If your plant is also your profit center, in such a case, you may also check if Plant is there in the accounting document generated by VF01/VF02 and thereafter write a substitution rule for populating the profit center
