Object documentationDocument Splitting Method

 

Contains the document splitting rules for the business transactions and business transaction variants assigned.

 

With this object, you can define how the system splits the documents for each business transaction and business transaction variant.

Structure

A document splitting rule is identified by the following key fields:

  • Document splitting method

  • Business transaction

  • Business transaction variant

You define the content of a document splitting method by creating a document splitting rule for each of the business transactions and business transaction variants that you want to use. By specifying a partial key, you implicitly assign the document splitting rule to a document splitting method. The document splitting method itself has no other content than the document splitting rules assigned to it.

To display the content of a document splitting method, proceed as follows:

  1. In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), choose Start of the navigation path General Ledger Accounting (New) Next navigation step Business Transactions Next navigation step Document Splitting Next navigation step Extended Document Splitting Next navigation step Define Document Splitting Rule End of the navigation path.

    The system displays a list of the document splitting rules defined.

  2. Select a document splitting rule that has been assigned to the relevant document splitting method, and display the details.

    You can gain an overview in the print preview. Choose Print (Print).

For more information, see Document Splitting Rule.

Recommendation Recommendation

If you have to make changes to the standard settings in Customizing, we recommend that you copy one of the document splitting methods delivered and make your changes in the copy. You must not change the document splitting method delivered.

To create a customer-specific document splitting method, proceed as follows:

  1. In Customizing for Document Splitting under Start of the navigation path Extended Document Splitting Next navigation step Define Document Splitting Method End of the navigation path, create a customer-defined document splitting method (for example, Z000000012).

  2. In Customizing for Document Splitting under Start of the navigation path Extended Document Splitting Next navigation step Define Document Splitting Rule End of the navigation path, select the document splitting rules contained in the standard method and copy them into your customer-defined document splitting method. Make your changes to the copied document splitting rules.

  3. Assign your document splitting rules in Customizing for Document Splitting under Start of the navigation path Extended Document Splitting Next navigation step Assign Document Splitting Method End of the navigation path.

The system immediately applies the new document splitting method assigned.
