Hi

Balance Sheet Accounts are required to be split in case you have document splitting activated u2026.. and in your case the profit center is made mandatory for the documents to get splitted u2026.. and the profit center would be derived from cost centeru2026u2026u2026. therefore to split the document by using document type u2013 SA through F-02 we need to do further settings, i.e., you need to configure u201CExtended Document Splitting Configurationu201D

For example: Rent expenditure is been posted which is having more than 2 Debits and consisting of different Cost Centers and posting to Rent Payable A/c which is a Balance sheet A/cu2026u2026.

Path: Financial Accounting (New) - - General Ledger Accounting (New) - - Business Transactions - - Document Splitting - - Extended Document Splitting -- Define Document Splitting Rule

Define your Business Transaction variant and for that variant define document splitting rule u2026u2026u2026.. where in you need to activate Automatically split check box for the desired categories.

Hi,

As per your error profit center is not deriving for one of the line item in your document.

Please simulate the document in general ledger and see in which line profit center is not coming. Click on expert mode to view how the profit center is deriving.

Profit center derivation is all depend up on document type and t.code In your case it will be from document type. Check the item category which was defined for the line item for which the profit center is not deriving and Check.

1. Classify document types for document splitting

2. Classify GL account for document splitting

3. Document splitting rule

Hi Ripon,

Are you using BAdI for updating the Segment / Profit Center or Segment get updated on one = one basis with Profit Center ?

Check the Document Splitting setting for particular Document Type.

Also do not remove the Profit Center from mandatory field for Document Splitting, your Profit Center reporting will go for a toss.

Dear Shankar,

Many thanks for your kind support.

I've checked Classifing G/L accounts for document splitting and maintained properly but that error message still showing but when I remove tick from Mandatory field for profit center in Define document splitting charectors for General ledger accounting then F-02 is taking post properly.

Now can you advise if I remove tick from profit center mandatory field in Define document splitting charectors for General ledger accounting then whether it will create any problem in our profit center reporting or any accounting document or not.

Thanks again.

Best Regards.
