Zero balance account have balance

Updated May 18, 2018

Hello,
I are using ECC6.0 , I are facing a problem in Document splitting. We have assigned Profit Center based document split. At the time of documents splitting the entry passed to setoff zero balance in Profit center the offsetting entry should be passed but instead of this it is passing only one Dr or Cr entry in Zero balance clearing account.
Eg

Expected entry :-
Account Amount Dr/Cr     Profit Center
Stock Raw Material A/c    500     Cr     PC1000
Material Consumption A/c    500     Dr     PC2000
Zero balance A/c     500     Dr     PC1000
Zero balance A/c     500     Cr     PC2000

Actual Entry passed by system
Account Amount Dr/Cr     Profit Center
Stock Raw Material A/c    500     Cr     PC1000
Material Consumption A/c    500     Dr     PC2000
Zero balance A/c     500     Dr     PC1000

Which is creating problem in accounting and trail balance is showing amount in the Zero balance clearing account. Now I have to know how I
can prevent & correct the problem.

Request you to please provide solution from your side for this.

    In this case the offsetting entries are passed by the system, but such entry cannot be reflected in Trial balance or B/S.You can check these entries in relevant tables.

    We have also faced such problems in one of our projects and we have solved this problem only by making one Functional Specification in for Inter division Reconciliation.

    Please check if that satisfies ur problem

    You should not be posting anything to zero balance account. It is the system that generates both debit and credit posting in this account. That way there will not be any balance left in zero balance account.

    As per my observation, in the actual entry line item you shouldn't enter "Zero balance A/c" and if you see the Total Dr is not matching with Total Cr. Try to enter The Actual line item like as mentioned below and then see the document splitting.

    Actual Entry
    Account Amount Dr/Cr Profit Center
    Stock Raw Material A/c 1000 Cr
    Material Consumption A/c 500 Dr PC2000
    Material Consumption A/c 500 Dr PC1000

    Expected entry
    Account Amount Dr/Cr Profit Center
    Stock Raw Material A/c 500 Cr PC2000
    Stock Raw Material A/c 500 Cr PC1000
    Material Consumption A/c 500 Dr PC2000
    Material Consumption A/c 500 Dr PC1000

    hat is weird system's behaviour. I wonder how can the system post a document that is not balanced. Means debit is not equal to credit.

    See the posted document detail in FB03 and see system is posting the offsetting amount of $ 500 in some other account?

    I hae checked in system, it is passing correct balanced entry in GL, which can be displayed in Fb03 normal view, but when i check Gl view in FB03 then entry is not balanced, this is making one line to balance only one Profit Centere and not passing entry to balance other profit Center

    Can you send me the screen shots in entry and GL view. The transaction also seems unique. The materials consumtion is going to one PC whereas Balance shhet account is going to another PC. Here is a PC which is consuming materials that belongs to another PC. Where from material consumption line item is picking PC? Are you entering cost center/production order et

    Please check "Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting" is the Zero Balance is ticked or not against Profit center
