Information on Document Splitting

You can use the document splitting procedure to split up line items for selected dimensions (such as receivable lines by profit center) or to effect a zero balance setting in the document for selected dimensions (such as segment). This generates additional clearing lines in the document. Using the document splitting procedure is the prerequisite for as well as an essential tool for drawing up complete financial statements for the selected dimensions at any time.

You can choose between displaying the document with the generated clearing lines either in its original form in the entry view or from the perspective of a ledger in the general ledger view.

For document splitting to be possible, the individual document items and the documents must be classified. Each classification corresponds to a rule in which it is specified how document splitting is to occur and for which line items.

SAP delivers a set of standard rules that should usually prove sufficient. If not, you can define your own set of rules and adapt these according to your needs.

Example

Example 1: Invoice

Suppose a vendor invoice containing the following items is entered: Posting Key Account Segment Amount

31 Payables -100

40 Expense 0001 40

40 Expense 0002 60

Document splitting then creates the following document in the General Ledger view: Posting Key Account Segment Amount

31 Payables 0001 -40

31 Payables 0002 -60

40 Expense 0001 40

40 Expense 0002 60

Example 2: Payment

The payment for the above vendor invoice then contains the following items when entered: Posting Key Account Segment Amount

50 Bank -95

25 Payables 100

50 Cash Discount Received -5

Document splitting then creates the following document in the General Ledger view: Posting Key Account Segment Amount

50 Bank 0001 -38

50 Bank 0002 -57

25 Payables 0001 40

25 Payables 0002 60

50 Cash Discount Received 0001 -2

50 Cash Discount Received 0002 -3
