Within document splitting, subsequent processes transfer specific account assignments from the original process. Transfer postings for customers with a credit balance is an example of a subsequent process. The system determines the balances of the customers and vendors by company code and account. The system splits the account assignments during posting on the basis of the determined account balance and according to the account assignments of the document splitting characteristic (such as Segment).

Prerequisites

  3. Postings

    To enable segment reporting, the system splits the total balance (100) using the original balances (see 1.) and on the basis of the document splitting characteristic (segment) and posts accordingly:
