3790488 - Error "balancing field 'profit center' in gl line item 0 not filled" when posting general journal entry

Unable to post Journal Entry as receive the error "Balancing field "Profit Center" in GL line item 0 not filled"

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open the app Post General Journal Entries.
2. Enter header data (for example, Journal Entry Date and Posting Date) and ensure Calculate Tax and Net Entry are selected.
3. Enter at least two line items where:

• • One line has a non-zero tax code (so the system generates an automatic tax line).
  • Account assignment fields (such as Profit Center) are entered and different on each line.

1. Choose Simulate (or Post).
2. Observe the error: Balancing field "Profit Center" in GL line item 0 not filled.

The Order of Operations
When a document is posted, the system evaluates the splitting logic in the following priority:

1. Passive Splitting: The system first checks if the document is a "successor" to a previous posting (like a payment for an invoice). If it is, it copies the assignments from the original document. This always takes top priority to ensure consistency.
2. Active (Rule-Based) Splitting: If it is a new transaction (like an invoice), the system looks at the custom splitting rules you've defined for that specific Business Transaction (e.g., Vendor Invoice 0300).
3. Inheritance: If no specific rule can be found or the rule doesn't cover all lines, the system checks the "Inheritance" flag. If the document has a unique account assignment (only one Profit Center in the whole entry), it "inherits" that value to the empty lines.
4. Splitting Constant: This is the last resort. If none of the above steps provide an account assignment and the field is mandatory, the system uses the Constant.

As the Journal Entry that was created does not refer to another document (such as a Customer Invoice, Supplier Invoice etc) the first two priority items are not relevant.

As the line items in the Journal Entry has different Profit Centers maintained the 3 priority item is not relevant.

The only option is to maintain the Splitting Constant option:

1.  Log on to CBC system or go to 'Manage your solution' app depending on release.
2. Search and find Document Splitting Item (SSCUI 120100).
3. Select Congfigure for Constant for Nonassigned Processes 
4. Select the Default Constant
5. Select Assignment of Profit Center - Global
6. Maintain the default Profit Center here. If the other logic is not fulfilled, the system will take this default Profit Center and allow the posting to be completed.
7. After adjusting configuration, simulate and post the journal entry again.
8. Error no long appears.
