Document splitting in SAP S/4HANA results in the creation of additional financial documents (D). This feature enhances the granularity of financial reporting by enabling the assignment of financial line items to specific segments, profit centers, or other dimensions. Document splitting ensures that each transaction is fully balanced within each of these dimensions, providing a more detailed and accurate view of the financial statements at these levels.

Additional logistical documents (A) are not created as a result of document splitting, as it is primarily a financial accounting process.

Additional controlling documents (B) are not directly created by document splitting; however, the detailed financial information resulting from document splitting can enhance controlling and cost analysis.

Additional values (C) refers to the creation of more detailed financial data within existing documents, rather than the creation of new documents.

During the goods receipt process, the general ledger accounts that receive postings include:

Consumption account (C): When goods are received for consumption (e.g., for a cost center, project, or order), the consumption account is debited to reflect the increase in expenses related to the consumed materials.

GR/IR account (D): The Goods Receipt/Invoice Receipt (GR/IR) account is a temporary account used in the procurement process. It is credited during the goods receipt to record the obligation to pay the supplier, balancing the entry in the consumption account or asset account.

The Vendor reconciliation account (A) is affected when the invoice is posted, not at the goods receipt stage.

The Tax Account (B) may be affected if the goods receipt involves taxable goods, but it is not one of the primary accounts affected by the goods receipt process itself.

In SAP, the master records that are directly assigned to a company code include Fixed Assets (D) and Activity Types (C). Fixed Assets are managed within the company code for asset accounting purposes, and Activity Types, used in Cost Center Accounting, can also be company code-specific, especially when used for internal cost allocations and calculations.

SAP Transportation Management (TM) within SAP S/4HANA supports the planning, execution, and monitoring of transportation processes. The documents it supports in this context are crucial for ensuring the seamless movement of goods and materials. Specifically:

Stock transport orders (B): These are used for the internal transfer of materials between plants or company codes within the same corporate group. They play a significant role in planning and executing transportation requirements, especially for intra-company movements.

Inbound deliveries (D): These documents are generated based on purchase orders or stock transport orders and are essential for the transportation planning of goods coming into the company. They provide detailed information about the goods to be received, facilitating the planning of transportation resources and schedules.

Returns (E): This involves the process of sending goods back to the supplier or to another location within the company. Returns require transportation planning and execution, making them relevant documents within SAP TM for ensuring the reverse logistics process is efficiently managed.

Material documents (A) and transfer orders (C) are not directly supported by SAP TM for transportation planning. Material documents are typically associated with inventory management and goods movements, while transfer orders are more related to warehouse management processes.

Project Planning and Activities: When planning activities for internal projects in SAP, resources, materials, and services required for the project are identified.

Generating Purchase Requisitions:

Automated Procurement: As part of the planning process, the system can automatically generate purchase requisitions for the materials and services needed for the project activities.

Integration with Materials Management: These purchase requisitions can then be processed in the Materials Management (MM) module to procure the required resources.

Implementation Steps:

Project Planning: In the Project System (PS) module, plan the project activities and define the resources required.

Requisition Generation: Ensure that the system is set up to automatically generate purchase requisitions based on the project planning data.
