Overview of Document Splitting Process

The following example illustrates the document splitting process flow based on the Payment with Residual Items without Invoice Reference business process.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Process Flow

Example

In this example, two receivables of EUR 600 and EUR 400 need to be cleared.

Business Process: Payment (Entry View)
	Account	Amount	AcctAssgmt/ PartnerAssgmt
Initial Situation: Business Process	Bank	`900`	S3
	Receivable	`1000-`
	Residual items	`100`

I. Interpretation of Customizing
	Account	Amount	AcctAssgmt/ PartnerAssgmt	Item Category
Derivation of business transaction, for example, payment (standard) Assignment of item category Check validity of item categories for the business transaction	Bank	`900`	S3	04000 (cash account)
	Receivable	`1000-`		02000 (customer)
	Residual items	`100`		02000 (customer)

II. Passive Document Splitting for Clearing
	Account	Amount	AcctAssgmt/ PartnerAssgmt	Item Category
Passive Document Splitting: The amounts are determined program-internal from the original document Cannot be set in Customizing Creating receivable clearing lines	Bank	`900`	S3	04000 (cash account)
	Receivable	`400-`	S1	02000 (customer)
	Receivable	`600-`	S2	02000 (customer)
	Residual items	`100`		02000 (customer)

III. Active Document Splitting
	Account	Amount	AcctAssgmt/ PartnerAssgmt	Item Category
Active document splitting, as can be set in Customizing Residual items without invoice reference are split based on the receivable clearing items that were split (passively) in the previous step	Bank	`900`	S3	04000 (cash account)
	Receivable	`400-`	S1	02000 (customer)
	Receivable	`600-`	S2	02000 (customer)
	Residual items	`40`	S1	02000 (customer)
	Residual items	`60`	S2	02000 (customer)

Note Note

This is an example of document splitting without residual items. Residual items with invoice reference are split passively!

End of the note.

As document splitting was able to determine the account assignments, the enhancement logic was not used in this example.

VI. Creation of the Zero Balance Setting for Each Document
	Account	Amount	AcctAssgmt/ PartnerAssgmt	Item Category
In Customizing, you can set that zero balances are calculated. After the previous process steps, a balance remains on account assignments S1, S2, and S3. Document splitting creates additional clearing lines for the zero balance setting. In this way, the partner characteristics are also filled. * indicates a zero balance posting (free balancing units).	Bank	`900`	S3	04000 (cash account)
	Receivable	`400-`	S1	02000 (customer)
	Receivable	`600-`	S2	02000 (customer)
	Residual items	`40`	S1	02000 (customer)
	Residual items	`60`	S2	02000 (customer)
	Clearing	`360-`	S3 / S1	01001 *
	Clearing	`360`	S1 / S3	01001 *
	Clearing	`540-`	S3 / S2	01001 *
	Clearing	`540`	S2 / S3	01001 *
