New GL Assessment Run Issue

Question

We use New GL (ECC 6.0 EHP 3) and real time CO-FI integration/ posting have been activated. I ran Assessment Cycle for allocating primary CE data in sender cost center to secondary CE's in receiver cost centers. The program works fine. However I note that it creates new FI GL account postings. We do not want FI GL postings to be created for running assessment cycle. I went thru AC 210 training document which says that segment characteristics has to have zero balance according to customizing  'clearing line items are created' automatically to achieve a zero balance for each segment. Where do I get to see this customizing setting? Can any one please advise?  Or can any one advise any solution for running assessment cycle which should not create new FI GL postings.

Answer 1

To create a rule for this use t-code (KALK). Menu path Financial accounting - Financial accounting global settings - Ledger - Realtime integration of controlling with financial accounting - Define rules for selecting CO line items. Once your rule is created assign it to the real-time integration variant.
If you decided to use a badi instead, the name of the badi is FAGL_COFI_LNITEM_SEL. 
Also, just to make sure this is clear, the settings associated with the real-time CO-FI intergration variant only effect postings that originate from CO (i.e assessments, distributions, overhead allocations, activity type allocations, etc).  I think you may be concerned that if you unclicked some of the checkboxes that this would impact document splitting.  It will not.  Any FI posting that requires a balanced amount per characteristic will still generate a clearing postings regardless of the settings here.  So you only need to create this rule or badi if you want some CO postings to create FI documents and others that don't (i.e. assessment no, activity allocations yes). 
thanks,
