Hi Gouthami,

Passive splitting

􀂌 A passive split is used during clearing transactions (for example, payment transaction)

􀁦 The system creates a reference to the existing account assignments; these account assignments are used as a basis

for the line items to be split

􀁦 For example, during the document splitting for a vendor payment transaction, the system uses rules from the vendor invoice

Active splitting

􀂌 Also known as rule-based splitting

􀂌 The system splits the documents on the basis of pre-defined splitting rules

􀂌 As described in the Vendor Invoice transaction, accounting items are split according to the ratios of purchase accounts

􀁦 The SAP ERP system is delivered with many pre-defined rules

􀁦 If standard splitting rules are not sufficient or you need to enhance the functionality, you can create your own splitting

rules

For account assignment objects for which you want to have a zero balance setting, the system checks whether the balance of account assignment object is zero after document splitting.

If this is not the case, the system generates additional clearing items. In this activity, you have to create a clearing account for these additional clearing items.
