Document Splitting in the Special Purpose Ledger 

Use

The settings in this step determine the accounts, document type, and split methodology used for documents posted in the Special Purpose Ledger. The configuration settings described here control how a document line item is split by each object defined.

...

       1.      Add the custom fields to the user-defined coding block, CI_COBL.

       2.      Create the table group designated for the new ledger.

       3.      Create all the company codes that require split document postings in the Special Purpose Ledger.

       4.      Configure the ledger for document splitting.

       5.      Define your business requirements, for example, regarding G/L accounts and document types, before you start configuration.

Procedure

This section describes the steps required to configure document splitting in the Special Purpose Ledger for actual postings.
