Invoice/Credit Memo Entry
You can easily create and post a vendor invoices or credit memos using
a one-screen transaction. This type of invoice entered directly in A/P is a
miscellaneous invoice, without reference to a purchase order. The A/P entry
screen is divided into the following areas:
Work templates
Here,youcanselectscreenvariants,accountassignmenttemplates,orheld
documents as references.

When entering an expenseitem for an operating expense, you must also enter
a cost accounting-relevant assignment, such as a cost center or internal order.
Thismeansthatwhentheitemisposted,documentsarecreatedinManagement
Accounting and Accounting. A primary cost element must exist for the G/L
accountinorderforthistohappen. TheManagementAccountingdocumentposts
thecostscorrespondingtotheexpensetotheManagementAccountingobject.
In the case described, the vendor invoice entered only affected one account
assignment object – a specific cost center.
Document Splitting
What happens when an invoice has multiple account assignment objects, such
as two different cost centers (example: the real estate commission for finding
apartmentsfortwoemployeesfromdifferentdepartments).
TheIDESgrouphasdecidedthat balancesheetsandP&Lstatementsaretobe
createdforeveryindividualsegment. Theaffectedsegmentdoesnothavetobe
specified manually when the posting is made, sinceit is derived from the cost
center automatically.
What does the posting look like in this case?

Three line items are entered first:
• The vendor line item with thetotal amount
• Expenseitem1(firstcostcenterandthecorrespondingsegmentisderived
from the cost center)
• Expenseitem2(secondcostcenterandalsotheassociatedsegment)
Thefourthitem(taxitem)isdeterminedbasedonthetaxcodeandtherelevant
settings when the “simulation” or “posting” is carried out, and then either
displayed or posted.
Thismeansthatthedocumentcontainsfour lineitemsintotal, asshowninthe
figure below.

You have to activate document splitting to ensure uniform splitting of the
segmentcharacteristic(oranyotherentity). Systematicsegmentationmeansthata

Theadvantageofdocumentsplittingisthatitreducesthetimeandeffortforthe

this example, would bevery time consuming.
ThisdocumentsplittingisonlypossibleinnewGeneralLedgerAccounting,that
is, not until mySAP ERP 2004 (ECC 5.0). There are now two “views” of the
posteddocuments: the“entryview”andthe“generalledgerview”. Dependingon
whatisof interest, userscandecidewhichviewthey want andswitchbetween
views as required.
If document splittingis not required or has not been “activated”(for example,
the customer only needs to create balance sheets at company code level), the
two views are identical.

Customerinvoicesforwhichtherevenuesaredistributedamongvariousentities
