SAP New GL #9 Customize cross company code postings for document splitting
Overview
In this document, I explore the effect of pre-configured Document Splitting on cross company code postings (within the same currency). When a vendor invoice is
posted across company codes (eg. vendor supplying goods through one invoice to more than one company code), multiple documents are generated – each for every
company code posted to. SAP delivered pre-configured rules split the Vendor line based on the offsetting posting to expense account. You can also configure constants
within Document Splitting to achieve different results.
The configuration for document splitting characteristics for General Ledger for this document is as
below.

What am I demonstrating?
In this document, I intend to demonstrate the impact of document splitting process on cross company
code Vendor Invoice. What applies to a cross company code vendor invoice should apply to most cross
company code documents.
Initially, I will post a cross company code vendor invoice against the background of SAP delivered
document splitting configuration rules. The vendor line items in the invoice document are split based on
the split in the offsetting line items. We will analyze what pre-configured rules caused the document to
split.
Then, I will demonstrate how the document splitting can be manipulated using Constants in SAP
Extended Document splitting.
Cross company code posting of a vendor invoice

As you can see, the SAP delivered pre-configured Document Splitting rules perform the document
splitting for cross company posting. To enable this configuration to work, in the above example, the
profit centre 1300 (“owned” by V001) should be assigned to both V001 and V005. This is because SAP
uses the same profit centre in the offsetting posting in the leading item company code document.
Given this requirement, the profit centre design should ensure that all possible profit centres should be
assigned to all company codes. As a general rule, I prefer to assign any individual profit centre to a single
company code (the reasoning of this is not part of this document). SAP delivered pre-configured rules
pose a problem to this design. You can get around this requirement by configuring a constant profit
centre for all cross company code postings.
Use SAP Extended Document splitting to split cross company code document
SAP pre-configured rules for document splitting implicitly requires you to assign profit centre to all
company codes. You can get around this requirement by defining a constant profit centre to which all
cross company code split documents will post. For a detailed explanation of constants, read “UseConstants for Non-assigned Processes in SAP new GL”. The limitation is that you can define only one
constant per controlling area for all postings. You cannot define, for example, a separate constant profit
centre for cross company posting.
For our example, we will define a constant Profit Centre 1000. This profit centre is assigned to company
code V001 and V005. This obviates the requirement to assign all possible profit centres to all company
codes. This constant rule is assigned to document splitting rule with dependency on leading item = 1 (CC
