Document Splitting Issue

[atif_farooq]

Hi Guys:

In attached screen shot , there is an entry in GL view, in which i have posted an entry

Customer ID  Dr 60

                                             PC                   SEGMENT

Expense Dr           40              1                     ENF

Revenue Credit      100             2                    CUF

Issue is now customer line item is getting split in two segments based on base item of revenue and expense . and hence receivable gets split in two segments which is not desired. Receivable needs to be booked in CUF only , splitting of receivable is not required., how can this be achieved. Assigning constant in splitting is not a solution .

Hi Atif,

Please note that the main purpose of document splitting is to split the line items of the document in order to have a trail balance at the desired levels (Profit Center or Segment etc). To achive this, the credit amount (of each of PC or segment) will have to be equal to debit amount at document level.

If you are specifying $ 100 debit to segment CUF and credit of $ 60 to ENF, the system would obviously derive credit $ 100 to CUF and $ 60 credit to ENF, thereby knocking off the difference in trail balance.

In normal accounting also this principle holds good. i.e. Debit must equal Credit. Hence you will not be able to post the corresponding $40 debit to segment CUF alone.

Dear Atif,

Please review the SAP note 1085921   Document split
In this note the following is stated:

I hope this can help.
