Hi SAP Guru,
At our client we have document splitting feature turned on for Profit Center and this field has been made mandatory for line items after document splitting. But here is a scenario where document splitting fails:
When the amount of an account, with blank profit Centre nets up to zero and there are multiple PCs being used in the document, it considers blank profit centre as a profit centre and the document to be balanced as per PC, but then it doesn't fulfil the pre rquisite of doc splitting i.e to have the PC field filled up for all the line items, and so it errors out.
General Ledger View:
Item Line Item PK Account Desc. Amount PC
1 001 40 XXXXXXX Acct 1 5.00 AAA
2 002 50 XXXXXXX Acct 1 5.00- BBB
3 003 01 YYYYYY Acct 2 5.00
4 004 11 YYYYYY Acct 2 5.00-
005 40 ZZZZZZZ Int. PC Clrg Acct 5.00 BBB
006 50 ZZZZZZZ Int. PC Clrg Acct 5.00- AAA
However, there are 2 exceptions:
1. If the amount of the account, with blank profit centre does not net up to zero, then doc splitting fills up the profit centre info for those accounts, thus making sure that all the line items have PC field filled up, which is a pre requisite for doc splitting, and there by posts the document without any errors.

2 002 50 XXXXXXX Acct 1 5.01- BBB
3 003 12 YYYYYY Acct 2 2500.00- BBB
3 004 01 YYYYYY Acct 2 2505.00 AAA
4 005 02 YYYYYY Acct 2 2505.00 BBB
4 006 11 YYYYYY Acct 2 2510.00- AAA
2. If the document is using only one PC, it automatically fills this PC on all the line items without PC, which fulfils the requirement of doc splitting and there by posts the document without any errors.

Any ideas on why it fails? Do you think it is a bug or something is missing in the settings? Please advise!
