Document splitting and substitution rule

[Former Member]

Hi,

we have doc splitting activated and we also have a substitution rule for a customer recon account to populate partner profit center based on the account and the segment. But this substitution rule is not working only for this customer recon account. I tested all the other accounts from that same set and the rule is working for them.

Did anybody experienced similar situation?do I have to change any document splitting rules to make substitution rule kicked off? Please advise

For document splitting, the vendor/customer account takes the PC/Segment of the offsetting account.

Babu/Dianne,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, customer/vendor accounts takes the PC/segment of offsetting entry.But our Idea is to populate the Partner profit center for that transaction based on the Offsetting account( customer recon account) and segment it picked up.

Inorder to achieve this, do the substitution rules work? I mean at what time substitution rule kicks off? My understanding is if the rule kicks off during entry time of the transaction, the rule won't work because the offsetting account in the rule is not yet determined. what do you think?

why do you want to make a substitution for a reconciliation account ? Customer/Vendor accounts do not have a profit centre assignment directly and the same is populated via the transaction processing related to customer/vendor.
