2/ Company 2000: For the same Cash account and the same customer account used in my first case (with company 1000) i have 4 line item posted in the G/L view and with different " PARTNER PROFIT CENTER"
I do not know wher can i find in customizing the link between G/L Account and Profit center ?

The document splitting is active in your company, at the same time, the "zero balance" for profit center is activated in your doc split characteristics. In order to balance the profit center in General View, it creates another line item for balancing it which is the zero balancing account or split the cash account according to profit center assignment. For some cases, they are split equally that is why it is best that you assign the profit center in the cash account upfront and create line item for each payment with different profit center assignment.
For instance, there are two customer line items with different profit center assignment
Customer Line Item 1 = Assigned to Profit Center 2000 amount 500
Customer Line Item 2 = Assigned to Profit Center 3000 amount 500
When I post a payment of 1000, the Entry View is
Cash                 1000
    Customer                1000
GL View
Cash       PC 2000       500
     Customer PC 2000         500
Cash      PC 3000        500
     Customer PC 3000          500
