Document splitting

[Former Member]

Hi Guru:

We want to use document splitting in new GL to split our documents. We want to split against business area.

Suppose there is a posting:

Account Business area Amount

121001 0001 500

121001 0002 500

121002 1000-

I want after document splitting, I got the following document:

121001 0001 500

121001 0002 500

121002 0001 500-

121002 0002 500-

So, I define 121001-121002 in the item category Balance sheet

I defined a clearing account 283000 for the 0-balance clearing

Define business area as the splitting characteristic.

And activate the splitting.

The result I got is strange.

121001 0001 500

121001 0002 500

121002 1000-

283000 500

283000 500

283000 0001 500-

283000 0002 500-

So, does it mean I need to define 121002 as the clearing account?

If so, does it mean the splitting can only split in 1 account?

Thanks.

you either need to derive the BA for 12002, or have a business rule to post a default value for the BA for the GL account.
