Information: Document splitting with Dummy Profit Center

Observation:
When an accounting document is posted with a dummy profit center, the dummy profit center is replaced with the profit center derived from the document splitting rules in the general ledger view of the document, while the profit center accounting (PCA) document is posted to the dummy profit center only. The entry view of the financial accounting document also displays the dummy profit center, however the general ledger view displays the derived profit center.

In the above scenario if the zero balance setting is maintained for the field profit center, No zero balance offsetting posting is made with respect to the amount posted to the dummy profit center.
For example:
