New GL - Doc splitting Characteristics

Hi
Can anyone please tell me about the Document splitting characteristics in controlling for which it gets used for.
Reg
Kumar

HI,
Document splitting characteristics in controlling, SAP has given the standard account assignment objects for which online document splitting is to be executed: Cost object, cost center,counter, net work,operating task list no,.Order, profitability segment no.,Real estate key, Sales order, wbs element.Apart from above additional spliting characterstics can also be created by defining the user fields and sceneros.
Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling are maintaineed in controlling for defining which additional characteristics one can intend to apply document splitting. The additional characteristics are not relevant for General Ledger Accounting. Instead, they are relevant for other application components (such as subcomponents in Controlling) that use documents transferred from General Ledger Accounting.

Activating New GL & Doc Splitting

Hi
Can anyone suggest me a solution:
We are working in ECC 6.0, New GL & Doc Splitting is not acvtivated. We are already in Production, can I activate it now, if not what is the procedure. We are just 3 months after live.
SAP suggests a migration procedure, I could not understand.
Can anyone explain
thanks

Hello,
Note 891144 describes the risks of activating doc-split subsequently.
Activating doc-split after going live is not allowed at the moment. There are some tables that are updated only under active doc-split. These tables can not be subsequently updated with exisiting documents, and business processes like clearing, VAT report, FC valuation etc.. could end up with error.
SAP dev. is currently testing a tool to cater this situation so that exisiting documents can be updated in necessary doc-split related tables. However the tool is not released for general use yet and this "migration" will probably be carried out on project basis only with support from SAP. Please keep an eye on note 1070629 as well as [http://service.sap.com/GLMIG|http://service.sap.com/GLMIG].
The same can be said for NewGL as NewGL related tables must be updated with exisiting data.
NewGL migration service SAP offers at the moment is for a specific scenario - system upgrade from older release (classical GL used) to new release ECC5.0 or 6.0 with NewGL.

New GL - Doc Splitting - Profit Center not hitting the Zero Balance GL

Dear SAP New GL Gurus,
I am trying to activate the doc splitting where the system uses a GL Account to ensure that Profit Center wise Trial Balances are tallied.
I have done the following configuration till now, and I feel that these steps should ideally split the doc and post the PCA Adjustment Account Entry - I think its the Zero Balance Clearing account that the system should ideally be using.
I am not sure what I am missing here - This is what is done till now:
1. Activated Document Splitting - Used Standard Method 0000000012.
2. Classified GL Accounts for Doc Splitting as per standard SAP categories.
3. Classify Doc Types with assignments of Transaction and Variant. Done as per standard, no changes made.
4. Defined Zero Balance Clearing Account.
5. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting - Made Profit Center field as Mandatory
6. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling - Left it BLANK as Point No. 5 is done for GL Accounting.
7. Define Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount to Assets - Ignored
8. Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes - Ignored
Under Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting:
1. Standard variant 0001 used.
2. Assigned 0001 variant on the Co Code.
3. Define Rules for Selecting CO Line Items - Ignored
4. Define Account Determination for Real-Time Integration - Ignored
Accouting Entry posted by me - Both lines are Balance Sheet items:
DR     Bank GL     Profit Center X
CR     Bank GL     Profit Center Y
Please help me out here.
I will assign full points.
Many Thanks
Bob

Hi,
Yes. Very much. you need to assign scenarios even if you are using leading ledger.
In any enty there will be minimum two views, Entry view and Ledger View
Ex.
Entry view
Account    Amt    A/c Assig objects - Profit Center
Customer 400
Sale A/c -400                                     2000
Gl View
Account                    Amt    A/c Assig objects - Profit Center
Customer Recon A/c 400
Sale A/c                   -400                                     2000
If you dont assign Profit center in the scenario to the leading ledger, in gl view you will not be able to see profit center against the sales line item
Assign points if useful

DOC Splitting in New GL and Profit center accounting activation

Dear All,
I am in a dilemma regarding the following -
We are activating doc splitting with profit center and segment as characteristics.
1) While maintaining Controlling area settings(OKKP) - do we need to activate "Profit Center Accounting" component?
2) Similarly, in IMG-Controlling - Profit Center Accounting- Basic Settings-Controlling Area Settings-Maintain Controlling Area Settings (0ke5), do we need to maintain any settings?
I am of the opinion that ,based on the SAP Note - 826357, that we need not activate PC accounting as it is built into New GL Accounting.
I am also of the opinion, again based on the note, that we can use classic PC accounting, but the note recommends and I quote
we do not recommend you do this on a long-term basis due to the increased data volume and the increased time and effort required, and in the case of active document splitting, the update response changes.
But I am not able to come to a conclusion.
In earlier implementations, I activated PC accounting in OKK5 in New GL doc split scenario. So keeping that in mind, pl guide me.
Thanks & regards,
Gov

Hi
Please set the Profit Center Accounting with Controlling Area.

Doc splitting and new Gl a/c

Hi All,
can any one tell me the difference between doc splitting and new gl concept. and explain me how will it useful in preparing profit center wise balance sheet.
and pls explain me the configuration steps.
Thanks In advance
Sarayu

Hi
Document splitting enables a complex display of documents. Line items are split here for selected dimensions. This ensures that you can draw up complete financial statements for the selected dimensions at any time. Below example would further clear :-
Suppose a vendor invoice containing the following items is entered:
Posting Key Account Segment Amount
31 Payable 100.00-
40 Expense 0001 40.00
40 Expense 0002 60.00
Document splitting then creates the following document in the general ledger view:
Posting Key Account Segment Amount
31 Payable 0001 40.00-
31 Payable 0002 60.00-
40 Expense 0001 40.00
40 Expense 0002 60.00
Settings for Splitting are as follows :-
In the IMG, choose Financial Accounting (New)->General Ledger Accounting (New)-> Business Transactions-> Document Splitting.
1. 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.
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 define your own rules for document splitting and make the necessary settings so that the system applies the rules you defined and not the SAP standard rules.
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.

New GL document split-doubt

Dear all,
We are planning to configure New PC functionality on ECC6 system.
Segments are the locations/regions in which we have plants
Profit centers are product groups.
Now all the CC , PC and segments have been derived. Document splitting characteristics are based on Profit center and segment fields which are mandatory field and zero balance check also being activated. All the postings are happening correctly.
I have a doubt now: since bank and cash accounts are defined at Company code level if I have to make a contra posting how does the sytem derives profit center and thus segments?
In such cases where amounts cannot be assigned to any particular profit center or segment how is it possible to get complete balance sheet at segment level?
Please clarify.
Points will be awarded for useful answers
Thanks,
Vamsi

Thanks Marc for that Info.
Yes the only alternative in such cases is to assign a default PC and then adjust to segments later on.
In that case we will not be able to reconcile the balance sheet values for segments against the company code, since there will always be some amount left unposted on segments.
If you can throw some more light with some real scenarios that would be much more helpful.
Here is my mail id: [email protected]
Thanks,
Vamsi

Define document Splitting Characteristics

Hi guru
I need to create as characteristic the field WBS (PSPNR)
In SPRO: Define document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting I can select as field only the following values:
Segment
Profit center
Business Area
Can I select a new entries? I need to insert the field WBS (PSPNR)
Thank you
Edited by: Rossella Fiorella on Aug 24, 2011 11:33 PM

Hi Rossella,
you can create a wbs balance sheet using New General Ledger functionality adding the customer field ZZPS_PSP_PNR to the total table FAGLFLEXT using FAGL_GINS transaction.
Then you must assign this field to one scenario active for your ledger. If necessary add the filed in the balace sheet report in customizing.

SAPF181 /F.50 - Doc Splitting Active

WE are trying to book our discounts for Logistics Invoices (MIRO/RE) to a default Cost Center and then later, executing SAPF181 using F.50 to re-classify the Discount to the Cost Object from the PO Line item.
Issue
When I attempt to run SAPF181/F.50 RECEIVE an ERROR MESSAGE that the Document Splitting is Active for Company Code we are using.
out there would be appreciated.
Any suggestions you have would be so much appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Please also check in your document splitting method "Inheritance" is on or not?
Please also try to create new scenario/document to test this.
You can also use the Standard Account Assignment in Document Splitting. You use this indicator to activate the function for setting a standard account assignment in non-assigned lines as part of document splitting.
If you have set the indicator and specified a constant, this is set as the account assignment in all non-assigned line items. You define the constant under Define Constants.
Do not set this indicator if you have defined it as a required entry field in the activity for defining document splitting characteristics .

Javed

Balancing field "profit center" error can not fixed by define doc split.

Dear all,
I am creating invoice by FB60 and hit error
I open Performance assistant, and follow the instruction that link to "Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting".
I made the "Zero balances" as unchecked, save, and then I could post the vendor invoice.
Then, I come back to FB60, try to generate the other invoice and hit the same error.
I open "Define document spilliting ..." again, made Zero balances as checked, then I posted invoices successfully.
But again, when I come back, I still got the same error.
Filling the profit center in first line item couldn't solve the problem.
Please help if you got any ideas about this error.
Thank you a lot.

While executing T.code F.5D system give"doc splitting is active in compcode

Dear Team,
We are in ECC 6.0 and we have our business area wise balance sheet active and for some Business areas, balance sheet are not matching because of Non updation of business area in Tax line item for which we had configured OBXM settings correctly.
While executing F.5D, F.5E system throws an message "Document splitting is active for company code XXXX".
In order to execute these transactions how can i move ahead?
Please reply its needed.
Thanks & regards,
Sandeep Jain

hi sandeep,
The system must have 'document split' functionality activated.
Document split functionality replaced SAPF180* programs, so these
programs are not allowed to be executed for doc-split active company
code.
For more information about the NewGL and document splitting, please
have a look to the added notes 826357 and 741821.
If you decide not to use document splitting functionality, you may
turn it off at IMG:Activate Document Splitting. Here, you can also
deactivate the functionality per company code.

How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

Select, and Copy in the Word doc and Paste in the Pages doc. It may not be perfect. Importing (Opening) the Word doc is probably better than using Copy/Paste for large amounts of content.

SAP New GL Document Splitting with WBS Element

Dear Experts,
In my company, current document splitting is defined as follows:
“Document Splitting Characteristics for GL Accounting” is at Profit Center & Segment Level
“Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling” is at Cost Center Level
Please can someone confirm I can bring over the Document Splitting at WBS Level as well? And if so, I will have to create them under “Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling” and provide "WBS Element" in addition to "Cost Center"
Secondly, if I go and change the config, is there any other config I need to change or update?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Raj
Check the Field Status Group of the highlighted GL account.. Is wbse set to optional? Is it a balance sheet account?
If yes, then its justified that wbse is not populated.
Document Splitting chars for controlling has a different purpose

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.
