Hi,

New GL functions are Segment Reporting, Co-FI integration, Paralel ledgers and adding customer fields.

Document splitting is useful for getting the complete balancesheet for account assignment objects like BA, PC and segment.

Hi Ravi

Document Splitting is the New feature in ECC 6.0 which enables automatic postings in profit centers so that at any

point you can get the balanced financials even for profit centers which was not happened earlier. It also uses a

concept of Zero balancing Account for making the single entry to double entry and balance the accounts.

Document splitting is part of New GL PCA.

As per New GL PCA there are two entry views one for Entry view and General Ledger view. In General Ledger view you

can find the document splitting.

For example

Material purchased for two differant profit centers under

One Invoice.

Entry view

Expenses Dr 100 Profit center 1

Expemses Dr 100 Profit center 2

To

Vendor Cr 200

General Ledger View

Expenses Dr 100 Profit center 1

Expenses Dr 100 Profit center 2

To

Payable Cr 100 Profit center 1

Payable Cr 100 Profit center 2

If you see the general ledger view you can find the object

of document splitting.

Under Business Area concept you can not find this facility

Hope this will clarify

Kind regards

Hi,

The information you gave is very correct. but my problem is , after i split the document, i can see the split only in General Ledger view. But since i want the Balance sheet for the respective profit center, i cannot get it from the reports in EC-PCA or f.01 / f.08 since they are all based on Entry view.

So how do i get a report for General View, What Tcode ??

Please help.

Hi Ravi,

Follow the Path to activate Document Splitting

Financial Accounting (New)-> General Ledger Accounting (New)-> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting.

The Steps to follow are:

1. Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting

2. Classify Document Types for Document Splitting

3. Define Zero-Balance Clearing Account 4. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting

5. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling

6. Define Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount to Assets

7. Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes

8. Activate Document Splitting

ECC 6.0 -- Real time integration between FI and CO, Integrated PCA, Document Splitting, Parellel Ledgers to name a few.

Dear Ravi,

Document Splitting is the new feature in SAP ECC 6.00.

It helps to eliminate Inter-unit postings as much as easier way.

Example: let you assume i have a head-quarters at Chennai and maintain operations at Bangalore/Mumbai.

Here Chennai is called as CH01 (company code (CHN1 = profit center) other 2 branches are treated as Profit center instead of company code as follows:

Banglore = BLR1, Mumbai=MUM2.

Now i am going to booking the expenditure invoice as follows;

Nature of expenses = 'Audit Fees paid'

Company code = CH01

Vendor = PWS Associates

entries will be booked as follows

PWS Associated a/c Cr. 10000

Audit Fees paid a/c Dr. (40% for profit center = BLR1; 30% for profit center = MUM2; 30% for CH01 (cocd))

The above entry will be posted in a single invoice but according to the settings / document spliltting configuration this will be posted as below;

AUDIT FEES PAID DR. (BLR1) = 4000

PWS ASSOCIATES CR. = 4000

AUDIT FEES PAID DR. (MUM2) = 3000

PWS ASSOCIATES CR. = 3000

AUDIT FEES PAID DR. (CHN1) = 3000

PWS ASSOCIATES CR. = 3000

I hope the aboe is help to understand the concept of document splitting.

Hi,

I am trying to post a GL transaction by debiting travel exp and crediting zero balancing account. The system is not allowing me to save it. Its showing the following error message.

Message no. GLT2001

The following error occurred for the document you entered:

Item category 01001 in accounting transaction 0000, variant 0001 is not allowed.

System Response

The document cannot be posted.

Procedure

Check the document entered, the derivation of the business transaction variant, the derivation of the item category, and the assignment of the item categories to the business transaction variant.

Can you please help me to resolve this problem.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Please check your credit entry. You do not directly post to the zero balance clearing account. This is a system generated posting to balance the books per segment or Profit center..

For example Dr Expense (Profit center PC1) and Cr Liabilites (Profit centere PC2) then the system balances not just the entry at the document level but also at the profit center level

So system generates an entry

Dr expense PC1

Cr zero balancing account PC1

Dr Zero balancing account PC2

Cr Liabilities PC2

This way not just the entry balances to zero, but also at the PC1 and PC2 level.. they are balanced..

So please check the entry
