New GL - Doc Splitting - Profit Center not hitting the Zero Balance GL

[former_member210146]

Dear SAP New GL Gurus,

I am trying to activate the doc splitting where the system uses a GL Account to ensure that Profit Center wise Trial Balances are tallied.

I have done the following configuration till now, and I feel that these steps should ideally split the doc and post the PCA Adjustment Account Entry - I think its the Zero Balance Clearing account that the system should ideally be using.

I am not sure what I am missing here - This is what is done till now:

1. Activated Document Splitting - Used Standard Method 0000000012.

2. Classified GL Accounts for Doc Splitting as per standard SAP categories.

3. Classify Doc Types with assignments of Transaction and Variant. Done as per standard, no changes made.

4. Defined Zero Balance Clearing Account.

5. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting - Made Profit Center field as Mandatory

6. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling - Left it BLANK as Point No. 5 is done for GL Accounting.

7. Define Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount to Assets - Ignored

8. Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes - Ignored

Under Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting:

1. Standard variant 0001 used.

2. Assigned 0001 variant on the Co Code.

3. Define Rules for Selecting CO Line Items - Ignored

4. Define Account Determination for Real-Time Integration - Ignored

Accouting Entry posted by me - Both lines are Balance Sheet items:

DR Bank GL Profit Center X

CR Bank GL Profit Center Y

Please help me out here.

I will assign full points.

Many Thanks

Bob

In my SAP ERP Profit center is brought to FI, so no need to check CO config.

First check assingment of scenario to your ledger. Profit center should be assigned (in global settings->Ledgers->ledger-> assign scenarios and customer fields to ledger)

This step ensures Profit center entered in entry view is carried to ledger view.

Have you activated Document splitting for your company code ??

We are just using the 0L ledger. No additional ledgers are defined by us. Is there any necessity to attach the scenarios?

Hi,

Yes. Very much. you need to assign scenarios even if you are using leading ledger.

In any enty there will be minimum two views, Entry view and Ledger View

Ex.

Entry view

Account Amt A/c Assig objects - Profit Center

Customer 400

Sale A/c -400 2000

Gl View

Account Amt A/c Assig objects - Profit Center

Customer Recon A/c 400

Sale A/c -400 2000

If you dont assign Profit center in the scenario to the leading ledger, in gl view you will not be able to see profit center against the sales line item

Assign points if useful

HI,

In step 5 you said you had profit center as mandatory and at the same time i think you are missing the zero ba;ancing indicator over there just check that and seee...it should work..

Thanks,

Any other clues?
