Document splitting error in Inter company Trip

[Former Member]

Hi,

While trying to post cross company code Trip posting we are getting an

error

u201CGLT2001 Item category 02000 not allowed in accounting transaction

0300/0001u201D.

We have document splitting active.

The following are the steps to recreate the scenario

1)A Travel request is created using T code TRIP

2)An Advance amount is entered

3)An alternate cost centre is specified. This cost centre is

different from that of the employee master and belongs to another

company code as the business process is such that employee travels for

a separate company code

4)When this request is settled and during posting run in PRRW, we are

getting this error of document splitting.

5)The Intercompany posting configuration in FI is done based on the

vendor customer relation ship between the 2 company codes using posting

keys 01 and 31.

6)Document splitting is active in the system.

We are at verge of completing SIT 1 an early reply is much appreciated

Regards

Hi

Not sure whether my response will help you or not.

I had faced a similar situation although we did not had Document Splitting and all. Actually the problem is all the cost centres are linked to the profit centres. Again these profit centres are linked to company codes. Now the contradiction comes when an employee divides his cost between two cost centres that are relevant for two different company codes.

Hence the solution that we thought of is assigning all profit centres to all company codes
