Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled " in Vendor

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Unfortunately my thread has been locked for Replies.

Document Spitting is activated in our system. Now in (payroll) Vendor posting we are getting the error " Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled ". Please provide your suggestions on this.

Dear Paolo, You replied.. Could you please send the Customizing path

the error comes from NewGL; since the profit centre is mandatory, all the line item shall have the profit centre valuated.

Since it is a payroll posting, I guess on the cost line item you have the cost centre (and consequently the profit centre).

try performing the same posting with FB01 and before posting run the general ledger simulate.

You will see that on balance sheet accounts you have no profit centre.

update your spltting rules to have the profit centre copied. Customizing is below "Document Splitting".

go to:

financial accounting --> general ledger accouting --> business transaction ---> document splitting

here I would suggest to check first the "classify document types for document splitting"

probably the document type you are using for payroll posting has a different splitting than vendor invoice (0300)

Hi Palao,

Thanks for your response. Even after assigning Document type to 0300 (vendor Invoice) same error exists.

Thanks,

try doing this:

1) "Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting"

--> vendor reconciliation account classified as 03000

--> cost account classified as 20000 (expenses)

2) transaction "activate document splitting" --> check witch metod is used

3) transaction "Define Document Splitting Rule" --> check for your method , transaction 0300, variant 0000, that the Item categories to be edited include the vendor account and that Base item categories include the expenses account

Dear Paloa,

We did the configuration as suggested by you but still the same error is there.

Hi,

I need some information for solving the problem

1.What will be FI entry if it got posed properly.

2. Tell the nature of All the GL account present in the FI posting (B/S or P/L)

3. What assignment you have made in Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting against that GL account.

4. Which document type you are using and what assignment you have done in front of document type in Classify Document Types for Document Splitting.

Regards,

try doing the same posting manually (with the same document type).

before saving , try with the simulate general ledger function, and check if the profit centre is missing in vendor line item or if it is missing in all the accounts.

- if it is missing in all the accounts, maintain manually the profit centre in cost account and try again.

- if it is missing in vendor accounts only, the problem is in the mentioned transaction of document splitting; are you able to post any vendor invoice? check what is different in the mentioned transaction between the normal vendor invoice posting and the posting from HR.
