Document Splitting Characteristic
Definition
Account assignment object for which document splitting can be performed.
Use
A document splitting characteristic generally corresponds to a field in the data structure of your ledger. Clearing lines are created using this field during document splitting.
If you have not maintained the document splitting characteristic in one of your ledgers, the split values are then not updated in the general ledger.
You can define document splitting characteristics for the general ledger as relevant for the balance sheet. To do this, you set the Zero Balance Setting indicator for the characteristic. In this case, the system ensures that those characteristics produce a balance of zero in each document by creating clearing lines. You can then create (partial) balance sheets on these characteristics.
For more information, see Making Settings for Document Splitting and Passive Document Splitting.
Structure
Document splitting characteristics are classified as follows:
·       Characteristics that are relevant for General Ledger Accounting
·       Additional characteristics that are relevant for Controlling (or other application components)
You define document splitting characteristics and their handling in the Implementation Guide for Financial Accounting (New) under General Ledger Accounting (New) ® Business Transactions ® Document Splitting ®
·       Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting
·       Define Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling
Integration
You define the data structure of your ledger and the selection of a document splitting characteristic in one of the following ways:
·       You assign a scenario to the ledger.
·       You define a customer field and assign this to the ledger.
For more information, see Making Settings for Ledgers.
Example
Examples of document splitting characteristics:
·       Profit center
·       Segment
·       Business area
·       Customer field
Document splitting
Document splitting allows you to display documents using a differentiated representation. In the representation, line items are split according to selected dimensions. In this way, you can draw up complete financial statements for the selected dimensions at any time.
Using the document splitting procedure, you can also create a segmented display of a (partial) balance sheet according to a set of legal requirements (for example, IAS) or according to areas of responsibility.
In addition, you can allocate at the time of posting additional costs (such as realized or valuated exchange rate differences) to the CO account assignment objects to which the costs relate. Assets can also be subsequently capitalized at the time of posting.
