999 Lines Limitation in FI

[Former Member]

We are running into the classic 999 lines limitation during SD Billing and Goods Issue. We tried summarizing but the billing and delivery volume is quite high and we still end up with over 3000 FI lines.

The option we are considering now is to develop custom logic to split the FI document during Billing and GI.

Anyone aware of any other approach to deal with this issue?

Is there a standard SAP Fix available for this?

We encountered this. There is no standard SAP fix, besides attempting summarization. Custom logic is the only way out. We split the number of lines into 998 each and use a document overflow GL account for the 999th line item. When all the batches go in, the balance in document overflow GL account will be zero.

Did you have New GL Document Splitting active? Does this custom logic become complex if Document splitting is activated?

Yes, we do. Profit Center is the document splitting characteristic, but without the 'Zero balance' checkbox coz we don't need it. We assigned the doc. overflow GL account to a default profit center in FAGL3KEH transaction. The default profit center would anyway have a zero balance because technically the GL account itself will have a zero balance.
