Preparations and Settings for Document Splitting 

Purpose

To use document splitting, you need to make preparations and settings in Customizing.

Process Flow

...

I. Preparations

Before you can activate and use document splitting, you need to have created certain datasets for the existing documents. To do this, you need to migrate open items for document splitting. Add any missing document splitting characteristics in the documents to be split. This is obligatory if you have set these characteristics as required entry fields in document splitting (see the section Defining Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting in Making Settings for Document Splitting).

For more information on the migration tools, see the Implementation Guide for Financial Accounting (New).

II. Standard Customizing Settings

You make the general settings for document splitting here.

For more information, see Making Settings for Document Splitting.

III. Settings for Extended Document Splitting

Here you make settings so that you can define your own splitting method if SAP’s standard splitting methods are not sufficient.

For more information, see Making Settings for Document Splitting.

Result

If you have made all the necessary settings, the system automatically uses document splitting for all defined business transactions.
