Inheritence functionality in document splitting

hi friends,
i am not clear with the inheritence functionality in document splitting. kindly explain me the inheritence functionality with an example in detail.
thanks in advance
khk

Hi,
this example can be found when ticking F1 for the field "inheritance" in the customizing step "activate document splitting".
Example
     Documents in entry view:
     Document type AB: Derived business transaction variant 0000 (unspecified
     posting)
     Bank 113100             Segment A      - EUR 1000
     Bank 113110                               EUR 1000
     The rule of the business transaction variant (unspecified posting) does
     not split account 113110.
     Account assignment for segment A in the document is unique. In this way,
     if inheritance is active, segment A is inherited by account 113110:
     Bank 113100                               Segment A      - EUR 1000
     Bank 113110                               Segment A EUR 1000
Best regards, Christian

Error message using document splitting

Hi All,
My client is implementing ECC 6.0 and would be using the new GL functionality including document splitting. My client would like to balance everything to zero at profit centre level. They would also want to have a unique profit centre per company code i.e. they do not want the same profit centre being used across company codes.
The problem is when it comes to running vendor payments, the paying company code is paying across company codes and I am getting an error message stating no postings can be made to the profit centre in my paying company code as the profit centre is not activated in the paying company code.
Can anyone suggest a way round this or has anyone come across this problem before? How was it resolved.
Thanks.

Hi Lalit Soni,
I have already assigned a default profit centre to my bank account but it didn't work. I have also tried taking out the bank a/c number from the document splitting table but it comes up with the error message to assing a category to my account.
Did u have this problem yourself? Did assigning a profit centre to your bank account help?
Thanks for trying though.

Document Splitting Function in 6.0 dectvt & reactvt

Dear All,
At our client site, some user with access to customisation, deactivated the Document Splitting by checking the Inactive Tick for the Company Code.
This came to light after some days. This directly affected out Business area balance sheet.
Now client wants to reactivate Document Splitting.
My question is -
1) Can we do it now again?
2) If yes, what problems we may face?
We have started working on it.
If anybody of you has any experience / suggestions, pl help.
Thanks & regards,
Gov

Dear Gov,
First you stop giving IMG authorization to users.
u check for required fields in document splitting,
and find when they de activated this function,
if it is very period is very less or transactions are less u better to assign required fields in all those transactions before activating.
If the splitting fields are not available system will not accept clearing transactions. and your statement of affairs also will show wrong information.
you can activate at any point of time

Hi
ARCHITECTURE OF THE NEW GENERAL LEDGER
With releases of SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP)
software up to and including SAP R/3 and SAP R/3 Enterprise
software, companies would handle general-ledger accounting
by using different SAP applications. Depending on specific
company or industry requirements, or local accounting principles,
you had to implement application components or functions
that sometimes had their own user interfaces. For example,
you might use special-purpose ledger software to meet
certain reporting requirements such as having totals in additional
table fields. In addition, SAP profit-center accounting
software resided in a separate application. Software for both the
special-purpose ledger and profit-center accounting offered
certain functions that were not automatically reconciled
with functions in the general-ledger accounting software.
Consequently, closing activities involved additional reconciliation
effort.
The new general ledger in mySAP ERP 2005 covers all these
functions and requirements, but retains the familiar accounting
interface with its variety of services, such as currency
translation and continues to provide functions that support
postings. Upstream software for sales and distribution and
materials management works with the new general ledger in
exactly the same way as before. Familiar and well-tested tables
BSEG, document table; BSIS, open items for new general-ledger
accounts; and BSAS, cleared items for general-ledger accounts
are still part of the solution and form the database for many
standard reports and customer-specific reports.
Users familiar with SAP R/3 will find a similar interface for the
new general ledger. New general-ledger functions for financial
allocation or statistical key figures, for example, share the same
interface design as functions for controlling.
The new general ledger offers the following technical
advantages:
The introduction and portrayal of business models now
occurs within a single solution. This design avoids any need
for a separate cost-of-sales ledger, special-purpose ledger,
reconciliation ledger, or profit-center ledger.
Users need to become familiar only with the interface and
functions of one application. Users already familiar with SAP
R/3 require little, if any, training.
Data is stored only once in the system (in a single totals table)
eliminating data redundancy.
No need for additional reconciliation activities during closing.
It is now easier to make adjustments to business-specific
requirements (such as the inclusion of customer fields as part
of flexible reporting).
DOCUMENT SPLITTING
Document splitting is an appropriate tool for determining
missing account assignments according to cause in common
accounting processes in SAP software (invoices, payments, or
clearing). For each financial-account document, document
splitting applies account-assignment information to nonassigned
accounts according to assignment rules set in the
customizing area. Take the example of a vendor invoice. You
can assign profit centers to expense accounts manually, derive
the assignment automatically, or make the assignment using a
substitute cost center. Document splitting places these profit
centers in the payables accounts of the invoice document.
This function can help you create balance sheets for entities
that extend beyond the scope of the company code. Typical
examples include balance sheets at the segment or profitcenter
level or balance sheets based on company-specific or
industry-specific entities.
There are also mechanisms to determine all account assignments
outside of document splitting in the delivering component
itself. This determination would include postings from SAP
human capital management or materials management software.
The document-splitting function is based on the following
model. Accounting documents contain accounts with assignments,
such as revenues or expenses. Such accounts provide
dependent accounts (accounts payables, accounts receivables,
and taxes, for example) with account assignments based on
context (such as invoice or payment). The model is processoriented:
account assignments from original processes are
projected into the subsequent processes, thereby enabling
account assignments according to cause in the subsequent
processes. Document-splitting information is built at two
technical points: document creation and the accounting
interface.
Document Splitting at Document Creation
A typical example of this instance is the clearing transaction
during which cash discount and realized exchange rate differences
are split according to source. (That is, according to the
proportions of the account assignments in the expense or
revenue lines of the original document, such as an invoice.)
What is special here is the specific reference to the original
transaction or line item. Controlling functions in the software
are updated accordingly and reconciled with the general-ledger
accounting functions. Another example of item-related document
splitting is foreign-currency valuation of open items. This
function transfers exchange-rate differences to the controlling
software.
Its important to note that the balance-valuation function
has no reference to items or transactions. Here, the dimensionspecific
balance of the account (such as the balance for each
segment) is used as the basic value.
Document Splitting at the Accounting Interface
The software limits itself to splitting general-ledger assignments,
which does not involve any transfer to controlling functions.
From a technical standpoint, this process has two variants.
The first variant is the account-assignment projection, which
results from customized settings. Account assignments are
projected from the base rows to the target rows. To minimize
the effort required for implementation, mySAP ERP provides
a number of preconfigured methods. You can activate only
one method per client. With method 12, the solution delivers
settings that support most standard processes (such as invoice,
payment, or payment on account).
The second variant is inheritance by subsequent processes
of business transactions, such as the clearing of vendor and
customer invoices. With this variant, the solution transfers the
original account assignments of the invoice to the clearing
lines. This variant is a fixed feature in the program and cannot
be altered. After the clearing transaction, the original item
(such as the payables or receivables line) and the clearing item
for the respective account assignment are balanced to zero.

Document Splitting problem while posting asset acquisition using F-90

Hi,
We are using ECC 6.0 with document splitting functionality and are facing problem while posting asset acquisition using F-90.
The transaction entry details are as below:
Document Type - KR
Vendor Line Item PKey - 31
Amount - 10000
Asset Line Item with PKey - 70, Transaction Type - 100
Amount - 10000
The Document Splitting Rule - 0000000012 is used and the Field Status Group for the Vendor Reconciliation Account and Asset Reconciliation account have Cost Center, Profit Center and Segment as "Optional" field.
The Balance Sheet Item - Asset Reconciliation Account has been created as
Secondary Cost Element - 90.
The Profit Center and Segment field have been made mandatory and zero balancing is also set in the settings for Document Splitting.
While posting asset acquisition using F-90, we are getting the error message - "Balancing Field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled"
The first line refers to the Vendor Line item.
Please let me know how to overcome this error.
Regards,
Ramanand

Please follow the below path and do config :-
IMG>FA>Asset Accounting>Integration with the General Ledger>Additional Account Assignment Objects>Specify Account Assignment Types for Account Assignment Objects
here you have to put KOSTL (Cost center) for both against APC and Dep run for each Dep area.
Thanks

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.
Regards,
Sam

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 .

Bank statement and bank clearing document splitting

Hi,
We have main bank and bank clearing accounts classified as cash category.
Our bank statement uses a Z document type that posts transactions such as:
- debtor to main bank
- vendor to main bank
- expense to main bank
- revenue to main bank
Thereafter, the bank clearing that is done between main bank and bank clearing account (so a cash to cash rule is needed based on the GL account classification)
We needed to use an unspecified posting rule to cater for the bank statement posting as the standard did not allow us to add vendor, debtor, expense, revenue as base item categories. But it doesnt allow us to add cash to cash.
How should we configure document splitting to cater for this?

Hi ,
First of all i hope you are clear with the concept of Incoming , otugoing and main bank account that we need to create 3 or more diffrent bank accounts for reconcilliation purpose .
the case here is that you cant to do a manual statement upload then in that case you will have to take care of following things .
How is the information transferred from FICA to FICO means along with the reconcilliation key what else information are you passing on to FI in the documents .
Secondly in the bank statement are you getting the reconcilliation key ??? or what information are you getting in the bank statement ???
because the integration of FI and FICA is the reco key and it becomes very crucial for you to have the same in the bank statement .
thirdly , Use the manual reconcillaiton functionality provided in FI for reconciling the same , where in you will have to configure the manual bank statement functionality and by using the T code ff67 you can reconcile it .
Hope this suffices the prupose .
Do revert back in case of any other queries .
cheers ,

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.
