How To Fix FAGL_REORGANIZATION518 - Simulation: Rounding diff. after simulated doc. splitting &1 not expanded

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FAGL_REORGANIZATION - Reorganization

• Message number: 518

• Message text: Simulation: Rounding diff. after simulated doc. splitting &1 not expanded

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.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The simulation uses additional document splitting characteristics (such
as the purchase order item).
In the simulation, rounding differences cannot be distributed in
accordance with the original document splitting characteristics. Ro
unding differences result from tax or from price differences on the
credit side, for example. Due to the additional document splitting
characteristics in the reorganization, the document may be posted with a
different summarization compared to the original document split.

System Response

As a precaution, the simulated result is discarded.
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 not need to specify the new assignment of the
receivable or payable manually.
If the simulated result is discarded, the reference to the object
providing the account assignment cannot be determined thereafter.
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.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_REORGANIZATION518 - Simulation: Rounding diff. after simulated doc. splitting &1 not expanded ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_REORGANIZATION518 typically occurs during the simulation of document splitting in the General Ledger (G/L) accounting module. This error indicates that there is a rounding difference that has not been properly accounted for after the simulated document splitting process. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Rounding Differences: The error is primarily caused by rounding differences that arise when the system attempts to split a document into multiple line items. This can happen if the amounts involved in the transaction do not divide evenly, leading to minor discrepancies.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the document splitting configuration or in the G/L account settings can also lead to this error.
  Currency Conversion: If the transaction involves multiple currencies, rounding differences may occur during currency conversion.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Document Splitting Configuration:
  
  Review the document splitting settings in the configuration (transaction code: SPRO). Ensure that the settings for the relevant G/L accounts are correctly defined to handle rounding differences.
  Make sure that the splitting rules are set up to accommodate the specific business requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Rounding Settings:
  
  In some cases, you may need to adjust the rounding settings in the system. This can be done in the configuration settings for the currency and rounding rules.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data:
  
  Analyze the specific transaction that triggered the error. Check the amounts and ensure that they are correctly entered and that there are no discrepancies in the line items.
  If necessary, manually adjust the amounts to eliminate rounding differences.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code FAGL_REORGANIZATION:
  
  You can use transaction code FAGL_REORGANIZATION to run the reorganization process for the G/L accounts. This may help in resolving any inconsistencies that are causing the rounding differences.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases updates and patches that can resolve known issues.
  
  
  
  Testing in a Sandbox Environment:
  
  If possible, replicate the issue in a sandbox environment to test different configurations and adjustments without affecting the production system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Document Splitting: This is a feature in SAP that allows for the automatic splitting of accounting documents into multiple line items based on defined rules. It is essential for compliance with accounting standards that require detailed reporting.
  Rounding Differences: These are common in financial transactions and can arise from various factors, including currency conversion and the way amounts are calculated and displayed in the system.
  SAP Community and Forums: Engaging with the SAP community through forums can provide additional insights and solutions from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
