Document Splitting in FICA

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

When I am posting the document in the T.Code FPE1 profit center is not inherited for the business partner item.

I have checked in FI-GL after transferring from FICA to FI-GL, it's not derived. What could be reason for not deriving the profit center in business partner item.?

Is there any setting to inherit the profit center business partner item. ?

Small help also highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Aswin

Hi Aswin,

You need to check the main\sub combination that you are using for posting in FPE1,whether they have any profit centre assigned to the following string in EK02

Company code\AD ID\Div\Main Tr\Sub Tr\ - if you are making the posting at contract level or,

Company code\AD ID
Main Tr\Sub Tr\ - if you are making the posting at contract account level.

In either of these scenarios, depending on which level you are posting, check the field CO account assignments is marked as X or not and the CO Account Assignment Key is populated with a profit centre or not.

If these are not maintained, the profit centre will not come in the Buisness partner item.

You need to maintain them and post a new document to check whether the profit centre is coming in the BP item or not.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Hi Aswin,

When FI-CA is used, online document splitting is not performed in New General Ledger Accounting. Please refer to SAP note 1070629.

Usage of the following features is either not possible or restricted:

- Balance sheet at profit center level is restricted, as posting to bank accounts wonu2019t be split according to the Profit centers of the cleared items. Profit center assignment for receivables, payables (direct assignment) and tax items (automatic split) is possible.

- Balance sheet at segment level (restricted usage).

Document splitting activities or functions (such as the creation of additional document lines or document items for the FI general ledger update, inheritance of characteristics or characteristic assignments using a constant) do not exist for transferred FI-CA documents. Certain functions of document splitting (active split, inheritance, constants) are not available since the FI document from FI-CA is posted in summarized form and the process relationship cannot be recognized from the FI document.

Please review further documentation in the marketplace using the path:

Hello Aswinkumar.V,

In order to transfer the Profit Center from FICA to FIGL during GL transfer these are basic steps.

1) You should have already created the Additional Account Assignment.

This can be achieved in the node (for FICA)

Financial Accounting -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Basic Functions -> Additional Account Assignments

for Insurance

If your Account Assignment requirement is not as standard then you have to generate Customer specific Addnl Assignment.

Include your Profit Center etc fields here in this structure for Addiitional Assignment.

2) Your Accounting Document needs to carry the Profit Center value.

This value can be checked on Documet Display (FPE3), then on the G/L Item find the "Acct Assgt" tab. There are fields

like Cost Center, Profit Center etc. On BP items check the Tab "FS-CD fields" and check for section "Additional Account

Assignments for Insurance".Finally Check if fields "Acct. ass. cat." (KONTT), "Acct. Assgt." (KONTL) are assigned in

Tab "Add. Data".

Check if you have missed entering this field during Create Document (FPE1). If yes, enter Profit Center during FPE1.

On a Mass level, make sure that Profit Center, Cost Center etc are populated when you create Payment Plan Items.

This automatically makes sure that your

After performing these when you create a Document and then Transfer the Item to FI-GL you should have you relevant fields transferred to GL.
