Document splitting: *why* zero balance clearing?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I don't understand *why* you would want it?

Please see screenshot from my study book:

The effect now is that if I want a report for PCA, it will have a balance of 0 but a report for only PCB also has a balance of 0 (!); the 1000 we posted from PCA to PCB and should show on PCB is gone...

Thank you for your help,

Bye

Thank you. It's not clear*why* to me. Please see my example in the above: the balance will be zero, and costs are gone.

Hi,

If you have to disclose your full financial statements at lower level than company code, i.e. at level of segment or profit center, you should activate zero balancing.

Example: IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires some companies to disclose information about their operating segments.
