hi

Document splitting is a new functionality in New GL. A document splitting characterstic generally corresponds to a field in data structure. It allows to display documents in different ways. In the representation, line items are split according to selected dimensions. This will facilitate to draw up complete financial statements for the selected dimensions at any time.

Using the document splitting procedure, we 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.

Document Splitting:In documnet splitting we can split a single document according to the selected criteria.For example

Normal entry

Expense a/c dr 10000

Cash a/c cr 10000

In case of document splitting it will be like this

Expense a/c( Business Area 1) dr 5000

Expense a/c( Business Area 2) dr 5000

Cash a/c cr 10000

Here criteria of splitting is Business area.It can be anything

Hi

Prakash thanks compliment

For splitting the document u need to make settings for document splitting as follows

Go to Financial Accounting (New) -General Ledger Accounting (New) -Business Transactions -Document Splitting.

1. Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting

2.Classify Document Types for Document Splitting

3.Define Zero-Balance Clearing Account

4.Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting

In this step you can specify according to which criteria document should split in case of my example it was BA.

Please assign points

Please note you can split by BA, PC or Segment.

you can split by all.

You should make one of them mandatory, so all postings are split by BA. You would then need a default BA incase it cannot derive one.

You would need to go on a document splitting course to understand the full principles.

Only once you have done that should you think of switching on the activate option in Document splitting.

Please dont rush into this.

you need to hold workshops with key business users to explain to them what you are doing.

They need to work out how they want the system to work.

Do you want to split by BA, or PC, or Segment, all or a combination.

how do you want the splitting to take place?

Should there be default entries?

You need to review your GL accounts, document types etc.

There is plenty of work that need to take place before you can start the config.

Hi Prakash,

The G/L document contains the line items and is thus a record of the balances in the Flexible General Ledger. The G/L document is a view of the accounting document that contains all account assignments. The G/L document only contains the account assignments or dimensions that are needed for the Flexible General Ledger.

Use:When updating the Flexible General Ledger, you can split documents.

The purpose of document splitting is to transport account assignment objects into document items containing no account assignments. You could, for example, assign the the business area of the expense items to the payable items.Line items are split, that is, a line from the accounting document is retrieved and several line items are updated in the Flexible General Ledger.

Lets take the example of a vendor invoice. Previously, you were not able to keep any independent accounting units in the general ledger (such as fund, profit center) other than company code and business area. This is due to the fact that the profit center, for example, is stored in the cost item of an invoice receipt, but the profit center is no longer contained in the payable item (that is, in the reconciliation account). This is the result of the fact that a payable item is not created for each expense item. With an outgoing payment, the profit center is also no longer available. The profit center could thus not be used as a balancing unit.

This problem could be solved by providing the corresponding offsetting items with the desired account assignments. The offsetting items would thus have to be split based on the number of assignments. For example, the payable side of an invoice is split according to the account assignments on the expense or profit side. The G/L document would thus be expanded to include additional document items.

Document splitting is a function that only works with G/L documents. It cannot be used for accounting or financial accounting documents.

Hope this helps. Please assign points. You have not awarded for the last reply also.

Real time balancing Profit Centers.

You need to discuss this with the business.

once you switch it on, you cant switch it off.

Beware !!!
