Document Splitting and Segment Reporting

Keep this: job aid

Document splitting cheat sheet

• Goal: every document balances per segment and profit center, so full balance sheets exist per characteristic.
• Entry view = what was entered. G/L view = what was split. Always read the G/L view.
• Active split: rules split payables and tax by expense or revenue base lines.
• Passive split: payments and clearing copy the split of the cleared document.
• Inheritance on; default account assignment only as a monitored safety net.
• Zero-balancing adds clearing lines; the clearing account totals zero per company code.
• Rejected posting? Check derivation, then document type classification, then the rule.
• Test multi-segment invoices, partial payments, residuals, reversals and logistics documents.
• Evidence: trial balance by segment and by profit center, each balanced; default value clean.
