Issue with Split Accounting Behavior in Ariba Buying Integration with SAP Backend

[omar_hassan99]

We are encountering an issue in SAP Ariba Buying, integrated (via Cloud Integration Gateway) with an SAP backend system (S/4HANA or ECC), where the split accounting behavior is not aligning as expected. 

• When users select a split accounting option in Ariba Buying (percentage, amount, or quantity), the backend system always defaults to “2 Distribute Proportionally” in the Accounting Data tab. The expected behavior is for the system to default to “1 Distribute in Sequence."
• The issue persists regardless of the split accounting method selected in Ariba Buying 

Any insights or recommendations to address this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @omar_hassan99 ,

I think this behavior is correct since when split accounting is done in SAP Ariba B&I which means single account is split in different IO or WBS so it should send "2 Distribute" to SAP ERP and if no split is done then "1 Distribute" should be updated in Accounting tab.
Hence, this is working as expected
