26. Document Splitting

• Passive Splitting – This type of splitting is mostly occurs when the payment
transaction is posted for a vendor invoice. Now system splits the payment document
bases on how the vendor invoice was split in place already.
• Active Splitting – In Active Splitting the document is split according to my SAP ERP
predefined rules. SAP almost supports all the business process transactions but if it
doesn’t suit to any requirement the own splitting rules can be created.
• Zero Balancing Splitting – When the amounts within financial documents are not
able to balance out to Debit of Profit Centre and Credit of Profit Centre which does
not Net Off as its own, SAP then automatically generates new line item to balance
the document. We will see the example in following section of this scenario
A. Classify G/L accounts for document splitting-

In this you need to assign your all account groups to enable the document
splitting along with their account numbers.
Document splitting is done by identifying the account number to determine the

item category of line items.
Path: Financial Accounting----- General Ledger Accounting----- Business
Transactions----- Document Splitting----- Classify G/L accounts for document
splitting
B. Classify Document Types for Document Splitting

Transactions----- Document Splitting-----Classify Document Types for Document
Splitting
In this system determines the splitting rule for each document type based on

III. ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE & PAYABLE
27. Master data

First of customers and vendors needs to be created in the system
In SAP system, the information related to customer and vendor is stored at 3 levels
1. General Data
2. Company Data
3. Sales/Purchase organisation
Note: In SAP S/4 Hana, Customer and Vendor Master data at all 3 levels are created
through T-Code=BP
First need to select whether Customer/Vendor is Person, Organisation, and Group.
Note: Roles for customer/vendor are as given below:

Customer: FLCU00 and FLCU01
Vendor: FLVN00 and FLVN00
Configuration Path: Cross-Application Components------ SAP Business Partner-----
Business Partner----- Basic Settings-----Define BP Roles
In SAP S/4 Hana, 2 numbers are generated whenever we create the Customer/Vendor in
system i.e. a. Business Partner and b. Vendor number
These are determined based on Grouping and number ranges assigned to those
groupings.
It is recommended to have same number ranges and group to be defined for those by
doing configuration as listed below:
27.1. Define Vendor account group
Path: Financial Accounting----- Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable-----
Vendor Accounts----- Master Data----- Preparations for Creating Vendor Master
Data----- Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors)
27.2. Define number range for vendor account group

Path: Financial Accounting----- Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable-----
Vendor Accounts----- Master Data----- Preparations for Creating Vendor Master
Data----- Create Number Ranges for Vendor Accounts
27.3. Assign number range to vendor account group

Path: Financial Accounting----- Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable----- Vendor
Accounts----- Master Data----- Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data----- Assign
Number Ranges to Vendor Account Groups
Note: In similar way it will be defined for Customer vendor account group, the path would
be same except that Vendor will be replaced with customer.
27.4. Create number range for business partner group

Path: Cross-Application Components----- SAP Business Partner----- Business Partner-
---- Basic Settings----- Number Ranges and Groupings---- Define Number Ranges
27.5. Define Account group for business partner.

Path: Cross-Application Components----- SAP Business Partner----- Business Partner-
---- Basic Settings----- Number Ranges and Groupings---- Define Groupings and
Assign Number Ranges
Note: Now we have defined the account group and number ranger for business partner and
Customer/Vendor separately which needs to be synchronised in order to generate same
business partner and customer/vendor number.
27.6. Customer/Vendor Synchronisation with BP.
Path: Cross-Application Components----- Master Data Synchronization-----
Customer/Vendor Integration----- Business Partner Settings----- Settings for Customer
Integration----- Field Assignment for Customer Integration----- Assign Keys----- Define
Number Assignment for Direction BP to Customer
Note: Similar setting will be done for Customer too.

General Data
Company Code data
Can see above that business partner and vendor number are generated which are same.
IV. ASSET ACCOUNTING
28. Chart of depreciation -Contain the list of depreciation areas as per business and
legal requirements
Path: Financial Accounting----- Asset Accounting----- Organisational Structure-----

Copy Reference Chart of Depreciation/Depreciation Areas
A. Copy Reference Chart of Depreciation -for your company

B. Specify description of Chart of Depreciation.
C. Copy/Delete Depreciation Areas.

Points to be noted while configuring above
4. In new asset accounting in SAP S/4 Hana, it is mandatory to specify the

accounting principle and based on accounting principle it will automatically
derive the target ledger group. If not specified it will give below error.
Configuration Node Path where the accounting principle are assigned with
ledger group as given below
Path: Financial Accounting-----Financial Accounting Global Setting-----Ledgers-
----Parallel Accounting-----Assign Accounting principle to Ledger group
5. In new asset accounting in SAP S/4 Hana, it is mandatory to create the

depreciation area for all the standard ledgers irrespective of leading or non-
leading ledger group.
If this is not done system will throw the error while assigning COD to
Company code.
6. In new asset accounting in SAP S/4 Hana, you can post multiple depreciation
areas in real time.
7. Depreciation areas defined for non-leading ledgers are not dependent on

leading ledger depreciation areas, for which needs to be checked from below
configuration path/node
Path: Financial Accounting----- Asset Accounting-----General Valuation-----
Depreciation Areas----- Specify Transfer of APC Values
8. Non-taxable acquisition
Path: Financial Accounting----- Asset Accounting-----Integration with General
Ledger Accounting----- Assign Input tax indicator for Non-taxable Acquisitions
29. Assign Chart of Depreciation to Company Code

Path: Financial Accounting----- Asset Accounting----- Organizational Structure-----
Assign Chart of Depreciation to Company Code
30. Specify Account Determination

In this step, you define the account determinations for Asset Accounting (key and
description). The key of an account determination must be stored in the asset class
asset class. In this way, the account determination links an asset master record to
the general ledger accounts to be posted for an accounting transaction using the
asset class.
Path: Financial Accounting----- Asset Accounting----- Organizational Structures-----

Asset Classes-----Specify Account Determination
31. Create Screen Layout rules

The screen layout specifies the status of the fields in the asset master record. You
use the screen layout to determine if fields are required entry or optional entry
fields, or if they are suppressed completely

Asset Classes-----Create Screen layout rules
32. Define Asset Class

The assets are classified into different categories like Furniture & fittings, Building,
Vehicles etc as per necessary business and legal requirements.

Asset Classes----- Define Asset Class
33. Define Number Range for each asset Class
Asset Classes-----Define Number Range Interval
34. Determine Depreciation Area for asset Classes
Here you activate/deactivate the depreciation areas for various asset classes define
above.
Path: Financial Accounting----- Asset Accounting----- General Valuation-----

Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class
35. Master data-Creation of assets.
T-Code
AS01-Create Asset Master Record
AS02-Change Asset Master Record
AS03-Display Asset Master Record
Note: When for the first time configuring the asset accounting for your company code,
you need to do 2 activities
1. Transfer of asset from legacy system- T-code-FAA_CMP
2. Close of previous fiscal year-T-Code-AJAB

T-Code-OAAQ
36. Define Technical Clearing Account for Integrated Asset Acquisition

Since in S/4 HANA, multiple depreciation areas can post in real time, so need to
define one technical clearing account which ensure simultaneous posting for all
depreciation area posting in real time.
Path: Financial Accounting----- Asset Accounting----- Integration with General Ledger

Accounting----- Technical Clearing Account for Integrated Asset Acquisition-----
Define Technical Clearing Account for Integrated Asset Acquisition
37. Depreciation Key
It is used to define depreciation method based on which depreciation will be
calculated on an asset.
