Nature of GL for Zero Balance Document splitting & CO-FI reconciliation

Dear Experts
1. What should be the nature of GL account for Zero Balance Clearing A/c for document splitting? Should it be P&L or B/S?
Should it be on open item managed? I've read note 961937 but it doesnt talk about it.
2. Also what should be the nature of GL required for CO-FI real time integration? P&L or B/S? If its P&L then should cost element be created for it?
Please advice?
Regards
Kapil

Hi,
1. Zero Balance Clrng Account: Balance sheet and Open item managed
2. CO-FI Intrgration account: P/L account and Line item display
Thanks

Unable to view entries in FAGLL03 for Zero Balance Clearing Account

Hi experts,
We are facing a unique problem. We are not able to view the line items of the Zero Balance clearing account. The master data of the G/L has been activated for line items but still the display of the items is not happening. I am getting the foll message:
Account 19900000, company code 1100 is clearing account
Message no. MSITEM111
Diagnosis
You have stored account 19900000 in company code 1100 as a clearing account. At the same time, you use line item management with this account.
System Response
Error message issued because line item display cannot read data for an account in a ledger if line items exist partially in the entry view together with clearing items for which there are no line items. In such cases, only the data with line items would be selected.
Procedure
Check the Customizing settings or account control. Change the settings so that only automatic postings without line items can be made to the account, or select a different account as the clearing account.

Sateesh

Hi
In splitting case you need not the give the line item display tab for Zero Balance Clearing Account.
Just remove that line item display in FS00 for Zero Balance account. You could be able to see the entries in FAGLL03

Only Pre-Authorization Executed for Zero Qty Document

We use credit/debit memos with zero quantity for business reasons. We are attemting to use credit card functionality with these credit/debit memos but when authorization is performed only the pre-auth for $1 occurs
even if the date is immediate.
If we change the quantity from 0 to 1 and create the same document the full (correct) authorization is performed.
Looking in table VBAP we can see that CMPRE is 0 even though it should be set to Net Value + Tax which would be a nonzero number

Usually SAP doesn't take kindly the items with 0$. They sort of don't make much sense either... Try using 0.01$ instead of 0$ or use another design.

Zero Balance Clearing Account for New GL

Hi SAP Gurus,
We have one unique situation for zero balance clearing account for New GL.
We have one global chart of account to which all company codes are assigned. We implemented document splitting with zero balance clearing for 1 splitting characteristics. We defined clearing account for zero balance for the same as well.
We need to post to different account only for one company code for zero balancing while other company codes will be posting to same clearing account. But as per me, we can only define one GL Account per Chart of Account for zero balancing.
Pls. suggest if you have any solution to this situation.
Regards,
Chirag

Hi,
Do you have a business rationale for this requirement? Apparently you are using the same Chart of Accounts and hence cannot assign a different GL Account.
This account will always have zero balance at GL Account level and will not be relevant to your legal reporting. A better solution would be to use the one account that all company codes can agree upon and use.

How to findout line items of zero balance clearing account?

Hi Friends,

Trial balance is matching at co.code level.but its mis matching at business area level.
Line item management is checked in the master data of zero balance clearing account.
How to find out the line items of the zero bal.clearing account so that i ll get the relevant business area amount and ll pass journal entry accordingly and ll get the balanced trial balance at business area level.
What is the table for zero balance clearing account line items?
suggest.

Document Splitting at the time of Payroll Postings

Dear All,
I am getting a document splitting error while posting the accounting document from Payroll to FI. In my system the zero balance splitting is active for profit centre and business area. In the Hr Personal record using t-code PA20 we have maintained the cost centre and business area in each record. The payroll runs perfectly but at the time of posting the accounting document to the vendor we get the error "Balancing Field Profit Centre Not filled in item 001".
We are using the standard document splitting rule 00000000012, document type KA, Business Transaction- 0300, Variant 001.
The error is due to the document splitting but where to change in the splitting rule i m not getting the same. Can anybody help me with this.
Reagards,
Anurag Gupta

Hi,
Are you booking expenses of 2 or more cost center that belong to different profit center.
As per your example you given
There is no need of splitting the document
If there is more then 2 expenses line item and having diff profit center in that case only system split Vendor.
Kindly check and let us know.
Just for confirmation check below thing also.
1. Vendor Reconciliation account assignment to Item category (Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting)
2 Expense Reconciliation account assignment to Item category (Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting)
3.Document Type which you are using. and Business Transaction & Business Transaction Variant assigned (Classify Document Types for Document Splitting)

New-GL-how to assign the zero balance accounts to scenarios

Dear Experts
Please help me how/where to assign the zero balance accounts to scenarios.
Standard functionality supports: Profit Center derication as mentioned below:
Derivation based on master data--If the line item contains a cost object, the profit center in the master data of the cost object is used.
Derivation based on product category
Derivation based on organizational structure
Derivation based on document splitting - For line items in the Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Cash, and Taxes sub-ledgers, a profit center is only derived if you are using profit center segment accounting with clearing or with balancing. For journal entries, document splitting is always performed for the line items in these sub-ledgers after the other line items have been created.we are concerned abt the 1st scenario & 4
Default profit center-FAGL3KEH -If no profit center could be determined based on the product category, organizational structure, or document splitting, the standard profit center we specified when configuring the corresponding ledger is used.
But I am looking for a specific requirement to configure the Zero balance clearing account to the scenarios.
Thanks
Rama

That information will not be any use.
You can carry forward any number of times - the last should be after closing of previous years accounts.
Hope it is clear.

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.

Document Splitting - No list generated

Hi Gurus,
I have activated document splitting in a company code which is having transaction for the purpose of Profit center,segment and Balance sheet report purpose.
System is allowing to post transaction but it is not generating zero balancing entry in general ledger view also it is not generating balance sheet either business area wise or profit center wise.
Can any body help in this regard I will allocate full points.
B.S.Rao

You may check the folllowing configuration:
IMG-> Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting -> Define Variants for Real-time Integration
IMG-> Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting -> Assign Variants for Real-time Integration to Company Codes...
also check in the tcode GSP_KD (define zero balance clearing account) whether custmization done in the for standard account for zero balance for the posting keys.
For account assignment objects for which you want to have a zero balance setting, the system checks whether the balance of account assignment object is zero after document splitting.
If this is not the case, the system generates additional clearing items. In this activity, you have to create a clearing account for these additional clearing items.
Create a clearing account for your chart of accounts.

Profit Center updation for RV Accounting document

Hi,
We activated the New GL in ECC 6.0 and when we are doing the billing VF01 the accoutning document is created and porfit center is updated with credit line items and it is not updated with debit line items even in General Ledger view.And even when we tested this in Quality system it is working there but production system it is not working.

Check the steps in OSS note 826357 for profit center update in newGL. In particular check and compare the following settings between your Quality and production system:
In Finaicial Accounting->General ledger acocunting->Business transactions->Document splitting->
1.Classify GL accounts for document splitting- The relevant reconciliation accounts are included
2. Define document splitting characteristics for GL acocunting- Profit center is set as a zero balance field.
3. Define document types for document splitting

Step by Step to achieve Document Splitting

Hi Experts
I know how to create Non-Leading Ledgers, Assign Scenarios to Non-Leading Ledgers.
Activate Document Splitting.
Please let me know step by step procedure inorder to achieve document splitting.
I will surely assign points
Thanks
Rajanikanth.

Rajanikanth:
Here you go:
Example, followed by config steps:
New General Ledger - Document splitting
Suppose a vendor invoice of 1,000 EUR assigned to 2 cost centers, CC1 and CC2 (500 EUR on each). The corresponding profit centers are PC1 and PC2.
Entry view:
PK Acct Amt CC PC
31 Vendor -1000
40 Charges +500 CC1 PC1
40 Charges +500 CC2 PC2
As a result of document splitting, the system splits the vendor line item in two parts: 500 EUR on CC1 (>PC1) and 500 EUR on CC2 (>PC2):
General Ledger view (document splitting):
PK Acct Amt CC PC
31 Vendor -500 CC1 PC1
31 Vendor -500 CC2 PC2
40 Charges +500 CC1 PC1
40 Charges +500 CC2 PC2
We now enter a partial (manual) payment of 500 EUR relating to only one cost center (CC1).
The following is the result of document splitting:
General Ledger view:
PK Acct Amt CC PC
25 Vendor +250 CC1 PC1
25 Vendor +250 CC2 PC2
50 Bank -250 CC1 PC1
50 Bank -250 CC2 PC2

Definition: document splitting
General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL)
An automatic procedure for organizing line items in the document according to selected dimensions (such as organizing receivable lines by profit center). Moreover, you can effect a zero balance setting for selected dimensions (such as profit center or segment). The zero balance setting causes additional clearing lines to be generated on clearing accounts in the document after the document has been created.
For example, the document splitting procedure is necessary for drawing up financial statements for the selected dimensions.

Document splitting material...

Hello ALL,
Can any one send me Document Splitting Documents to my mail id: [email protected]
Thanks in Advance and Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Sai.
Edited by: fico sap on Mar 9, 2008 12:28 AM

Below mentioned are the settings for configuring FI - Document Split.
To use document splitting, you need to make preparations and settings in Customizing.
Process Flow
Preparations: Before you can activate and use document splitting, you need to have created certain datasets for the existing documents. To do this, you need to migrate open items for document splitting. Add any missing document splitting characteristics in the documents to be split. This is obligatory if you have set these characteristics as required entry fields in document splitting
Standard Customizing Settings: You make the general settings for document splitting here.
Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting
You need to classify the individual document items so that the system knows how to handle them. You do this by assigning them to an item category. The item category is determined by the account number. In this IMG activity, you need to assign the appropriate accounts.
2. Classify Document Types for Document Splitting
Every business transaction that is entered is analyzed during the document splitting process. In this process, the system determines which splitting rule is applied to the document. To enable the system to determine the splitting rule, you need to assign a business transaction variant to each document type.
3. Define Zero-Balance Clearing Account
Here you define a clearing account for account assignment objects for which you want to have a zero balance setting when the balance is not zero.
4. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting
Here you specify to which document splitting characteristics document splitting applies, for example, profit center or segment. The characteristics that you specify should be maintained in at least one of your ledgers. You determine which characteristics are maintained in your ledger by assigning scenarios or customer fields to your ledgers.
You also define how this characteristic is to be handled by specifying, for example, whether you want to apply a zero balance setting, whether the field is a required entry field, and the appropriate partner field.
5. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling
Here you specify which additional characteristics you want to apply in document splitting. The additional characteristics are not relevant for General Ledger Accounting. Instead, they are relevant for components in Controlling that use documents transferred from General Ledger Accounting.
The selected characteristics are only transferred to the specified line items when the account to which the postings are to be made can also take the characteristics.
6. Define Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount to Assets
Here you define whether the cash discount that is applied in the payment of an asset-relevant invoice should be capitalized to the asset. When you select this setting, the cash discount amount is not posted to the cash discount account in the payment document, but instead directly to the asset.
7. Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes
Here you define default account assignments (for example, a default segment) for specific line items in processes for which it is not possible to derive the correct account assignments at the time when the document is posted. This is the case if the required information is not yet available when the posting occurs.
8. Activate Document Splitting
In this IMG activity, you activate document splitting. The splitting method used is that delivered by SAP as standard, which contains the splitting rules for the different business transactions. If this splitting method does not meet your requirements, you can first define and then select your own method in Customizing for document splitting (see the next step).
Settings for Extended Document Splitting
Here you make settings so that you can define your own splitting method if SAPs standard splitting methods are not sufficient.
9. Define Splitting Method
Here you define your own method for document splitting. A splitting method contains the rules governing how the individual item categories are dealt with.
10. Define Splitting Rule
Here you define the splitting rules for document splitting. You assign one or more business transaction variants, the account key for the zero balance setting, and the leading item categories for cross-company code transactions to a splitting method.
11. Assign Splitting Method
Here you assign the splitting method to be used for document splitting after activation. If you want to activate your own splitting method, replace the standard method with your own method.
12. Define Business Transaction Variants
Here you can define business transaction variants for the business transactions in document splitting.
Hope this helps you, if this is what you are looking for please assign points.

NEW GL document splitting

Some documnt types like SA will not get split by documnt splitting functionality and some document types like cash posting will get split according to the partner line items.....What are the functional reasons for not applying document splitting to few document types like SA. Also could you please list all the docment types that will not get split by new gl document splitting. And the account category types that will not get split.
Appreciate your response

It all depends on the configuration in the following nodes in SPRO.
Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Classify Document Types for Document Splitting
Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting
The reason (in standard config.) why document splitting does not happen for document type SA is because it is assigned to transaction 0000 (unspecified posting). For transaction 0000, you would not see any item categories in splitting rule configuration. That means, we are expected to give account assignment to each line item while posting using document type SA.
Again, this is standard configuration delivered by SAP for document splitting. If it does not suit the business requirement, it can be changed.
Following is SAP's IMG Activity Documentation for the first node above.
Classify Document Types for Document Splitting
Every business transaction that is entered is analyzed during the document splitting process. In this process, the system determines which splitting rule is applied to the document. In order that the system can determine the splitting rule, you must assign a business transaction variant to each document type.
To ensure that a splitting rule is used appropriately, the relevant documents must meet certain requirements. These requirements relate in particular to certain item categories that either must or must not be available. This information is specified for each business transaction variant and is checked against the current document during posting. If the document does not meet these requirements, the system rejects the posting.
Example
The accounting transaction 0200 (customer invoice), variant 0001 (standard), is delivered. In this accounting transaction, the following item categories are allowed: customer, value added tax, withholding tax, expense, revenue, exchange rate differences, and company code clearing.
Standard settings
With the document types delivered in the standard system, SAP delivers a classification for document splitting. This classification is a proposal that you need to check against how your document types are organized. You need to check whether the classification or assignment to a business transaction variant produces the desired result in document splitting.
SAP includes business transactions in the standard system. The item categories that are allowed for each accounting transaction are also defined. Accounting transaction variants are also included. These are additional limitations of the accounting transaction.
You cannot define additional business transactions. However, you can define your own business transaction variants to the the standard business transactions.
Activities
Assign your document types to an accounting transaction and a business transaction variant.
Further notes
Document splitting is essentially controlled by the document type. You should therefore ensure that the documents used for business transactions are assigned uniquely in document splitting to a business transaction variant and in this way to a splitting rule.
You may therefore be required to introduce more document types.
Example:
The document type SA is assigned to business transaction 0000 Unspecified Posting with variant 0001.
In the methods delivered, no splitting rules are defined for the business transaction variant Unspecified Posting (with the exception of company code clearing). If an account assignment is expected in these documents, it has to be specified for all lines. This means that the system does not project any account assignments to non-assigned lines due to the absence of a splitting rule.
However, this document type is generally used for a large variety of business transactions that would also have to be treated differently in document splitting. In such cases, it is necessary to define additional document types and to assign them to the specific fiscal year variants.

Goods movement in a retail using document splitting by profit center

Hello Gurus,
I am in a retail implementation, our requirement is to make a goods moviment from one store to another (where stores are profit centers). But they want to have zero balance document spliting by profit center. (balances by store)
Does any one know how could the document finally be posted if the original movement is:
1000 goods 40 profit center 1
1000 goods 40 profit center 2
Thanks in advance,
answer will be rewarded!

ERPi Suppressing zero balance accounts

Hi,
I am new to ERPi and would like to understand how the following option works.
My source is EBS 12 and my target is Hyperion Planning 11.1.2
In the data load rule section, there is an option to select Yes/No for Zero balances. If i select No for this option, will ERPI load that particular account into the Planning Hierarchy and only suppress the data or will it not load the member itself into the Planning hierarchy.
For e.g if my source data is in the following way
Acc001 May Actual 0
Acc002 May Actual 100
Will Acc001 be created in the Planning hierarchy and only the zero data will be ignored or will the Acc001 member itslef will be omitted in the hierarchy.
Thanks,
Sravan
