Hi leonardo.pires

Why would you want to change the account assignment of the items in passive splitting, since in that case your financial statements at account assignment level would not be balanced. A simple example:

Document 1

Vendor A/c Cr PC 1 EUR 100

To Expense A/c PC 1 EUR 100

Document 2

Vendor A/c Dr PC 2 EUR 100

To Bank Outgoing Payment A/c PC2 EUR 100

Now if I have to clear the vendor a/c, due to passive splitting the accounting entry in New GL View would look as below:

Vendor A/c Dr PC2 EUR 100

Zero Clearing A/c Dr PC 1 EUR 100

Vendor A/c Cr PC 1 EUR 100

Zero Clearing A/c PC 2 EUR 100

Due to passive splitting there is a real time balancing of amounts at profit center level in the above entry. Now if you introduce a change of Profit center for example, you need to make sure that adjustments are passed at month end, so that profit center balances are zero in the trial balance else your accounting will go for a toss at that level.

It would help if you could specify the use case and also how would you expect the system to make sure, that it is able to match the balances at account assignment level, which is one of the core functionality of document splitting.

Thanks & Regards
