Activation of open item management in G/L account

Hello all,
I have a G/L account with existing line items on it without open item management activated and the client wishes to activate open item management now.
I have managed to activate the actual G/L account option, but my question is about the status of the EXISTING line items.
Because the existing line items, however, do not have an open item status in the sense of "open" or "cleared". Instead, they show up with the green tick in front of the line. I would actually want the existing line items all to be marked as e.g. "open" so I can then clear all matching items and leave the unmatched items with status "open".
I have found several SAP notes about this behaviour and know that SAP recommends to create a new account and then re-post. However, my client wants to keep using the EXISTING account number.
I know about a report called RFSEPA02 that was meant for a purpose like this, but we are on ERP 6.0 and in that environment, SAP does not allow to run RFSEPA02 anymore.
My question is therefore if someone knows how to set the open item status of the existing line items in such a way, that I can clear them.
Thanks in advance for any input.
René

Hello,
When we run standard program RFSEPA02, we get a waring message and will not run the program. To over come we have to copy the program to Z program and bypass the warning message.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks,

  • Activation of open item management for loans taken.

    Dear Experts,
                          How to activate opem item management for loans taken. Also how to link a vendor to business patner if both are same.

    Hello,
    In your case, though balance is ZERO, they are not cleared against each other. It is the reason you are still facing the problem.
    If ther is no open item management check box, then copy program RFSEPA02 to ZRFSEPA02 and append the initialization control.
    If there is already open item management but you want to remove then copy RFSEPA03 to ZRFSEPA03 and append the initialization control.
    Do the following steps:
    1. Block the account for postings (all check boxes) in FS00
    2. Run the customized Z program (Give the company code and account number)
    3. Unblock the account for postings (remove all check boxes) in FS00
    Take help from your ABAPer to stopping the initilization error check.
    Hope this solves your issue.

  • Open Items Management for B/S Account

    Hi Friends,
    I have a b/s account in which open items management is turned off[unchecked],
    We have already made postings to that account, Now when I try to turn it on, it gives me error message that balance needs to be zero to change the status of open item management.
    Is there any other way , I can change the status of account.
    Regards,

    HI,
    Create a new account with the correct account assignment. Post your items to the new account. If you want to use the original account number, you must bring the account balance to zero, change the account assignment, and re-post the items. You can remove the old items by archiving the documents.
    Please change the error to a warning and you will able to skip it This will allow you to change the indicator XOPVW.
    Keep in mind that changing the account management to line item/open item display is not recommended by SAP.

  • "Open Item Managed" for Bank GL accounts

    I am trying to tell my users that they should set the bank GL accounts (not the bank clearing account) as "open item managed".  Our users have been clearing the bank accounts down to make it exactly the same as the bank statement.  All the SAP Helps and manuals suggest that bank accounts shouldn't be open item managed.  But what is the implication?  Is there any auidt issue?
    Thanks

    Hi
    The main Bank Account is the GL Account that is used for all the accounting transaction by default including the payment transactions. Bank Sub Account is used as a clearing account for payment transaction to track the payments that are not yet cleared by the bank. It would not make sense to make the main Bank account Open Item managed from accounting perspective. This account will come into picture when actual clearing happens and gets confirmed from the Bank.
    It may not be an Audit related perspective.

  • Exch rate diff account for open item management recently checked accounts

    Hi all,
    I have recently activated open item management for certain gl accounts.
    i post only local currency transactions in that gl and gl account ,aster data is also in compnay code currency.
    So no foreign currency is involved here.
    But when i try to clear line items for those gl accounts , system is showing an error and asking me to maintain exchange rate diff accounts in OBA1 (KDF).
    But i dodnot understand why i need to maintain foreign currency diff accounts when there is no foreign currency involved.
    When i post any new entry after open item management is activated, system allows me to clear these line items without any error.
    So i think the problem is only with line items where open item management activated recently,
    Could any one help in this.
    Thank you,
    Siva Kumar D

    Hi
    May be this is because of the additional currencies define for that particular company code, if any difference in the exchange rate at the time of clearing system looks for the difference in ex.rate account. In this case, you have to maintain the GL in OBA1 (KDF)

  • FH087 - Remove open item management to GL Accounts

    I removed the open item management and try to save the GL Account and the error meesage showing with FH087 - You cannot change Open Item setting.

    Hi
    Please refer to below answers:
    1) the OSS note 175960, mentions the afftected releases for software component SAP_APPL is till release 600. Currently we are at SAP_APPL 604 level 07. Is this note applicable to us?
    Yes, it can be used.
    2) Will the program ZFSEPA03 / RFSEPA03 converts the current open item line items to line item display?
    The report does the following:
    1. Sets a posting block to the GL account.
    2. Selects all open items and deletes the XOPVW indicator in tables BSEG and BSIS
    3. Deactivates the XOPVW flag in the GL account master data.
    4. Deletes the posting block.
    3) After executing this program, if suppose later any of the clearing document for the cleared items in the account got reversed. Will this items become open item again? if yes, then it won't be possible to clear these items as the gl won't be open item managed.
    I am not sure about this step, but you will have (old) cleared items in the document tables (BSEG/BSAS) which does not match the current account settings (as these items are from the dateBEFORE the change took place). But this does not have any influence on postings in the daily business.
    4) Any pre requisite like the gl account should have zero balance or there should not be any open items, before executing this program ZFSEPA03.
    The subsequent deactivation of open item management is not that critical.
    It is not necessary to bring the account balance to zero, you can execute ZFSEPA03 without any correction postings. And it is even not necessary to change the master data manually, this will be done by the program.
    5) is there any other transaction similar to FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP for deactivating the open item managed tick in ECC 6.0 with NEW GL active.
    You will do it by running the mentioned report.
    The RFSEPA03 or your 'Z' version will not have any influence on the NewG/L tables likeFAGLFLEXA Only the currently open items will set to normal items.

  • Open item manage accounts clearing problem

    Dear experts,
    We have created some of the liability gl accounts master without open item management.  After a period of time we have converted the gl accounts into open item management by executing the programme RFSEPA02.  Now we are going to clear the old documents, which are posted before open item management conversion.
    Now the problem we are facing is  - document splitting for the old document.
    Kindly send your openions to clear the old documents or again we are ready to convert the open item management to non-open item management for the GL accounts.  How to do it.

  • Open Item Manage - GL Account

    Hi,
    I have earlier created a GL Account without choosing the option of Open Item Manage.  Now this account has certain entries and have balance. 
    Can anybody guide me for converting this account into "Open item managed".
    Regards,
    Harish

    Hi,
    If you want to change the flag "open item management", you need to follow the steps described in message FH087:
    "If you want to switch this function on retroactively for a certain account, you should create a new account with the correct setting and use this to make a transfer posting of existing items."
    "If you want to switch off the open item management function   retroactively for an account, you must first clear all the postings   currently on this account. You cannot make any changes to the account  management method until this is done."
    The only  possible workaround available for the same is:
    Create a new account with the correct account assignment. Post your items to the new account. If you want to use the original account number, you must bring the account balance to zero, change the account assignment, and repost the items. You can remove the old items by archiving the documents.

  • Open Item Management Function

    Hi Experts,
    We have tried to activate open item management for a particular account which was not open item managed orginally.
    When we attempt to do the same we are unable to do the same. We have made the balance to Zero for the account.
    But our company has additional two currencies for all the documents.
    Even though the account balance is Zero for Local currency there is still some balance exist in Hard Currency and Group currency.
    Is there any way to make Zero balance for the Other Currencies also.
    Thanks and regards,

    But when i attempt to execute the program it gives the warning message and comes out to standard bar,
    Message is as below:-
    Do not use the report program to set up open item management for the

    Create a new account with the correct account assignment. Post your
