14.  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. In order that 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.
 
IMG Menu Financial Accounting (NEW) > General Ledger Accounting (New) >
Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Classify Document
Types for Document Splitting
 
Document Type Transaction Type Variant

in CO) that use documents transferred from General Ledger Accounting.

17.  Activate Document Splitting
 
Use
In this IMG activity, you have to activate document splitting. The splitting method
used 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 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.
