FI Distribution & Substitution

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am using the FI-GL % distribution (FAGLGA35) to distribute the Balance sheet amounts in a group of profit centers (PC 1, 2, 3, 4) to a subset of Profit centers (PC 1, 2, 3). The amounts are distributing as expected. However, the Segements are not reflecting the Profit Center assigements or following the substitution rules. It appears that the Segements may be following the source profit center amounts instead of carrying the destination Profit Center segment or the substitution rule segement.

Questions:

1) Are the substitution rules called after all distribution runs?

2) Are the FI Substitution rules called for Balance Sheet accounts? (Note 392273 notes a similar issue for CO where they were not)

3) Has anyone else seen this issue?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi,

Substitution rules happens at the time of FI document postings, that means, first it will gothrugh the all standard checks and then completes the substitution rule.

Hitting balance sheet accounts depends up on the prerequisite and the field you used in the substitution.

You can use the user exit in the substitution, there you can define the particular substitution should work to the balance sheet accounts, etc.

Seshagiri K.S,

Thank you for the quick reply.

Here is a breif example of what I am seeing.

Distribution runs... Balances post as expected. However, my segement does not match the profit center that the amount is posted to. My Substitution rule parameters compare the document type, company code and profit center. For the 4 profit centers i am testing there is a rule to substitute the correct segment. When I look at a specific posting, the parameters match for any of the given profit centers. However, the segment does not match the substituted segment value or the Profit center's assigned segement.

It appears that the substitution rule is not being called for some reason. All of the criteria matches for the substitution rules. None of the other rules affect Segments. Is there something else that I may be missing?

Wouldn't a user exit experience the same issue?
