Issue/Solution: No profit center determined for withholding tax items after document splitting

Issue:
While making vendor payments using the automatic payment program (F110) or manual payment using F-53 , user receives the following error
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 002 not filled
Depending upon the document splitting characteristics defined in your system, the error may be for Segment, Business Area or any other field
for example
Balancing field "Segment" in line item 002 not filled
Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 002 not filled

Causes:
If Extended Withholding taxes applicable at the time of payment are being used , The standard splitting rules and transaction variant may not be able to identify the profit center/segment/business area for withholding tax line item which is automatically generated the during payment posting.

This is due to fact that the newly generated item may be considered as a base item category instead of a derived item category due to the document splitting configuration

Solution:
1. Identify the document type being used for the payment posting. For example KZ or ZP
2. Identify the transaction type and business variant being used for the document type found in step 1 from SPRO node " Classify Document Types for Document splitting" (SIMG_GLT0_T8G12). Most likely it would be Transaction Type : 1000 - Payments and Variant 0001 - Standard, unless you have defined your own transaction types and variants
3. Identify the document splitting method being used in your implementation from SPRO node "Activate Document Splitting" (SIMG_FAGL_ACTIV_SPLI) . Most likely to be 0000000012 or 0000000012
4. Go to the SPRO node "Define Document Splitting Rule" (FISL_PS_GBEB_SPLT_DC) and locate the header item with Splitting Method, Business Transaction and Transaction Variant identifies in step 1,2 and 3. For our example it would be 0000000012, 1000 - Payments, 0001 - Standard respectively
5. Add item category "05200 - Withholding Tax", into the "Item categories to be edited" list for the header selected in step 4.
6. Add "Base item categories" "02000 - Customer" and "03000 - Vendor" for item category "05200 - Withholding Tax".
