Document Splitting — Basic Steps
• Document splitting consists of three
steps:
Passive splitting
Active splitting — rule-based splitting
Splitting using zero balancing
3
The rules for passive splitting are pre-defined in the
system and cannot be changed.
• Passive splitting
A passive split is used during clearing transactions (for ex.,
payment transaction)
The system creates a reference to the existing account assignments;
these account assignments are used as a basis for the line items to be split
For example, during the document splitting for a vendor payment
transaction, the system uses rules from the vendor invoice

• Active splitting
Also known as rule-based splitting
The system splits the documents on the basis of pre-defined splitting
rules
As described in the Vendor Invoice transaction, accounting items
are split according to the ratios of purchase accounts
The SAP ERP system is delivered with many pre-defined rules
If standard splitting rules are not sufficient or you need
to enhance the functionality, you can create your own splitting rules

• Splitting using zero balancing
Zero balancing the document ensures the document is balanced
and that the document is also balanced for specific characteristics.
For example:
The document is balanced per the Segment characteristic
The document is balanced per the Profit Center
characteristic
You can define the characteristics that are used for zero balancing

• Splitting using zero balancing —
Example
The financial document is also balanced for the Profit
Center characteristic
System creates additional adjustment line items using Zero
Balancing Account
Account Description Amount Profit Center
A/C 1001 123.45 PC-1
A/C 2002 -123.45 PC-2
Account Description Amount
Profit Center
