Issue/Solution: Accounting document posted without Profit Center even if Profit Center is mandatory in document splitting

Issue:
An accounting document is posted without profit center, segment or business area, even though it is mandatory field in the document splitting characteristic configuration. The system may not allow to reverse or clear such corrupt line items, and users may get the following error while trying to reverse of clear the erroneous document.
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled

Erroneous line items thus posted would have blank Profit Center even in the general ledger view.
All such inconsistent documents may be found from table FAGLFLEXA - General Ledger: Actual Line Items, Profit Center=Blank

Solution:
Implement the following SAP Notes to prevent further occurrences of this issue
Note 1249888 - Simulate General Ledger: Incorr. data or dump MESSAGE_TYPE_X

To reverse any inconsistent documents which have already been posted erroneously before implementation of the above note, create an OSS message under the component FI-GL-GL-X
