• Message number: 504

• Message text: Simulation: Error in document splitting (&3)

What causes this issue?

To establish the object from which the receivable or payable received
its profit center account assignment, you can simulate
<DS:GLOS.3588D1BBD1952050E10000009B38F982>document splitting</> for that
receivable or payable.
An error occurred when simulating document splitting for document &V1&.
The error message issued during document splitting reads as follows: "
&V2&" (&V3&).

System Response

If the receivable or payable has received its account assignments from a
different object (such as a cost center), the receivable or payable is
usually reorganized in the same way as that object. In this way, the
object owner does <ZH>not</> need to specify the new assignment of the
receivable or payable manually.
If the error in document splitting has lead to the simulation being
terminated, the reference to the object that imparts the account
assignment <ZH>cannot</> be determined. Consequently, the receivable or
payable needs to be treated as a first-level object of the
<DS:GLOS.4989E534075B61FAE10000000A421948>derivation hierarchy</>. From
then on, the receivable or payable is now dealt with as if the profit
center had been assigned directly.
