Profit Ctr derivation for under payment auto posting in F-28

[former_member186590]

Hello,

I'm trying to apply a customer short payment to an open AR invoice in F-28. We have a 10% tolerance so the invoice is being cleared and remainder booked to the underpayment account. However, this is a revenue series accounts and requires a profit center but SAP is not able to derive the profit center for this account. I was expecting it to find the same profit center that was booked on the AR line of the invoice after splitting.

So, here is the process.

When Billing/AR invoice is posted in SAP either via the billing document in SD or directly in FI, SAP books the following posting.

Debit Customer/AR  (No Profit Center at the time of posting)(Entry view)

Credit Revenue (Profit Center is a required field and populated either from the Billing Doc. material or manually in FI)

When this invoice above is saved, new GL Splitting functionality stamps the profit center from the Revenue line on to the Customer Line, so user will see the following. Note that this functionality is working fine.

Debit Customer (Profit Center from the Revenue Line)(GL View)

Credit Revenue (Profit Center from Billing Doc)

When the incoming cash is applied to the customer invoice above in F-28, if the Tolerances are setup, SAP books the following entry.

Debit Cash/Bank (No Profit Center)

Debit Under Payment (No Profit Center)

Credit Customer (Profit Center from the invoice)(GL View)

Now, when splitting process is done, I am expecting the profit center from the AR line(derived from the original invoice) to be stamped to the Underpayment and Bank Account lines but that is not happening.

I don't want to setup defaults in FAGL3KEH or specify profit center manually as short pay should go back to the same profit center that the invoice was generated in.

Any suggestions or pointers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks much for your time

Sumit

Hi Nimnl

check your document splitting configuration, Check the item category assigned to both cash and under payment account. Check the item categories defined in splitting method to transaction assigned to payment document.

First the both item categories should be assigned to it and base category should be customer.

You may have to define your own rule.

Check the same.

Pankaj,

Thanks much for the reply. I have checked this configuration multiple times and everything is in order but still, SAP refuses to tag the profit center on the under payment account.

Have you ever come across this business requirement at any client and if yes, were you able to achieve it via splitting? To me, it seems, SAP is not equipped to handle it since this is not a straight forward splitting. SAP needs to first look at the invoice number at the time of cash application, go back to that invoice and look at the profit center assigned to the AR line after spitting and then, assign it to the short pay account.

Thanks much for your time.

Hi

Do you have the inheritence maintained for your document splitting method. The Prodit center will be derived if inheritence is maintained.

HI Nimbl

First check , if in payment docuement profit center is inhetring in bank account from invoice.

I hope the standard configuration is in place in your system for spliting.

The splitting characteristic according to your need can be configured in system.

Check the first point , will revert the steps then.
