Check:

IMG ==> Financial Accounting (New) ==> General Ledger Accounting ==> Business Transactions ==> Document Splitting ==> Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting

IMG ==> Financial Accounting (New) ==> General Ledger Accounting ==> Business Transactions ==> Document Splitting ==> Classify Document Types for Document Splitting

Financial Accounting New ---> GL Accounting New---> Business Transaction ---> Document splitting--->

Activate Document splitting---> select Deactivation per Company Code ----> Position - co.code ---> select check box inactive.

it should clear the prob...

Hello,

This solution is like uninstall SAP if you are facing error.

To all who read this thread please do not use "deactivate" as it may have serious impact on productive system. It will stop document splitting, i.e. no business area or profit center balance sheets, etc. It may even have serious issues in clearing old documents, as they will be having splitting and new ones will not.

@Saravana kumar - His question is how to assign item category to Gl account and not how to deactivate splitting.

Hi ,

it is not the point of deactivating,  when u select check box inactive in deactivation per company code it becomes ACTIVE.  that means before this step your docu splitting was not active....

the same error occured for me when i used to post transaction in FB-50. I cleared it by using these steps and nothing affected in the productive system.....

If document splitting is not active than this error will never come.

This error is only relevant and available in company codes where document splitting is active.

In standard SAP document splitting is active by default and when you go to the place as you stated and you check "inactive" it deactivates.

thus what you actually did in your case is that you turned off document splitting and thus error stopped coming.

You can check your documents in general ledger view, you will not see any splitting.

Hope you did not do this in some client's productive server.

In New GL accoutning Splitting is based on type (item category) of account and system derives what is to be splitted and on wat base with that.

Thus in path

SPRO --> Financial Accounting (New) --> General Ledger Accounting --> Business Transactions --> Document Splitting --> Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting

Enter all the GL accounts which you want to post to and assign them proper item category for proper splitting. Such as assign item catergory Customer to all AR recon accounts and so on.

Please go to the SPRO > SAP Reference IMG > Financial Accounting > GL Accounting > Business Transaction > Document Splitting > Activate Document Splitting >

Then Select Deactivation per Company Code >

Then Choose your company >

Then mark the check box as Inactive.

#Problem will be Solved.
