Define Zero-Balance Clearing Account
Use
For account assignment objects for which you want to have a zero balance setting, the
system checks whether the balance of account assignment object is zero after document
splitting.
If this is not the case, the system generates additional clearing items. In this activity, you have
to create a clearing account for these additional clearing items.

3.3.1.3
Classify Document Types for Document Splitting
Use
Every business transaction that is entered is analyzed during the document splitting process.
In this process, the system determines which splitting rule is applied to the document. For the
system can determine the splitting rule, you have to assign a business transaction variant to
each document type.
To ensure that a splitting rule is used appropriately, the relevant documents have to meet
certain requirements. These requirements relate in particular to certain item categories that
either must or must not be available. This information is specified for each business
transaction variant and is checked against the current document during posting. If the
document does not meet these requirements, the system rejects the posting.

Define Document Splitting Characteristics for
General Ledgers
Use
In this step, you specify for which characteristics you want to perform document splitting in
General Ledger Accounting.
In Best Practices two fields (Profit Center and Segment) are used for document splitting.
Field segment is specified that a zero balance setting should be applied in the document for
the characteristic. Field segment is specified that the field must be filled with a value after
document splitting. This is necessary that a financial statement with segments can be
processed.

Define Document Splitting Characteristics for
Controlling
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which additional characteristics you intend to apply for
document splitting. The additional characteristics are not relevant for General Ledger
Accounting. Instead, they are relevant for other application components (such as
subcomponents in Controlling) that use documents transferred from General Ledger
Accounting.
Procedure
1. Access the activity as follows:
IMG Menu

3.3.2
Define Field Status Variants (part 'Field Status
Groups')
Use
You can combine several field status groups in a field status variant. The field status group
specifies which fields are active when you enter documents, which are mandatory, and which
are suppressed (field status). For segment reporting the fields for segments and profit centers
are to be enabled for input entries.
You can assign the field status variant to a company code. This enables you to work with the
same field status groups in as many company codes as you require.
SAP Best Practices uses field status variant 0010 (copy from standard field status
variant 0001).
If you perform this step because of a failed installation, the field status variant has to be
deleted before you execute this configuration step manually. Otherwise you will have to
create all of the field status groups manually instead of using the copy function.
Prerequisites
The field status variant 0010 already exists (see building block 102 External Financial
Accounting).

Use
Profit Centers are to be assigned to all cost centers which exist in the client. Because of
different scope selections, it is possible that some of the below listed cost centers do not exist
or alternatively that cost centers exist which are not maintained in the list.
Listed cost center does not exist: no further actions necessary
Cost centers exist in the client, but are not listed below: add profit center depending from
scope
3.4.6.1
Message Control: Add message (Warning)
Use
If you try to change the profit center in the cost center master data and some transactional
data exist the error message “Changing profit center from … to … is not permitted” is
displayed. In SAP Best Practices tariffs for activity types are planned before activating the
Activate Document Splitting. Therefore this message can be disregarded. A change has no
effect on postings already made.
You can change the message type of this message.
You can

determine whether a message is output as a note in a dialog box or in the footer

change warnings to error messages

deactivate warnings and error messages
You can make different settings for dialog processing and batch input processed in the
background.
You can maintain these settings for a client, and if necessary, for individual users.

3.6 Activate Document Splitting
Use
In this IMG activity, you have to activate document splitting. The used splitting method is the
SAP standard one, which contains the splitting rules for the different business transactions. If
this splitting method does not meet your requirements, you can first define and then select
your own method in Customizing for document splitting. You can do this by choosing
Extended Document Splitting  Assign Splitting Method.
The activation then applies for the entire client. You can explicitly exclude individual
company codes from document splitting. This means, however, that you are then no
longer able to create any cross-company-code transactions containing company codes
that have divergent settings for document splitting.
