Segment without using document splitting

[former_member599308]

Hi Everyone,

We intend to use segment in Profit center as "reporting dimension".  

We don't want to use document splitting behind it.

Is it possible , not to use segment without document splitting?  

My understanding is that  Document Splitting affects balance sheet accounts and separate these accounts based on objects(Profit center, segment).

Related SSCUIs are  102322 , 103055  ,  120100 .

Thank you

Kind Regards,

Resul

Hi Resul,

I don't think I really understand your question or the exact change you are looking for ?

One of the prerequisites in segment reporting is the activation of document splitting based on the segment characteristic. The segments can only be used in combination with profit centers on a 1:n basis.

How would you populate the segment data in the B/S items without splitting ?

Document splitting can't be deactivated in S/4H Cloud and even if you would be able to do that then segment reporting would not work at all.

Hi Lucian,

Actually, I dont want to populate segment in the B/S items.

I intended to use segment only P&L level for grouping profit centers as dimension.

May be custom field could be better to do it instead of using segment 🙂

Thank you

Hi Resul,

I think you should focus on profit center hierarchies if P‎&L is the only problem for segmentation reporting.

Hi

As outlined in SAP note 2868475 - SSCUI: Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger changes to the document splitting configuration are not supported in standard and if required customers must create an expert configuration request via a special Worldwide S/4 Request Repository (WSR) request.

This note is also highlighted in the related SSCUI's

Hi David,

If we do it as you mentioned, we only use segment as reporting dimension and no affect on BS accounts etc.

Is my understanding is correct?

Thank you
