3.7 NEW G/L 157
A customer and vendor balance consists of open items, i.e., those that are yet to
offset. While transferring balances, the system looks for profit centers from the
offsetting entry. In the case of open items, the system will not find an offsetting
entry and will post line items to a dummy profit center. You can transfer the
posting from a dummy profit center to another profit center through transaction
code 4KE5.

Issue No.: 56
The user has reported that the system is not splitting document type SA but is
splitting other document types.
In the standard configuration, document type SA is assigned to transaction
type 0000, to which no splitting rule is assigned. In these circumstances, the
system is expecting that you will enter an account assignment while entering a
business transaction.
See how your system is configured in the following menu path:
