Cannot change the open item management setting

When I try to switch the open item management specification on or off, a message comes up telling me that if I want to switch this function on, I must create a new account with the correct setting and use it to make a transfer posting of existing items.
Does anybody know how to do this ?

  • GL Account Change to Open Item Management

    Hi,
    Initially I have not created one account as open item management.  After a period of time(after some transactions) I have made the balance Zero in that account and I have tried to create open item management for the account.  But system is not accepting and error message is - Account balance is Zero but open items exists in the account.
    BSR

    Hello Dear,
    From my $0.02, If you subsequently define open item management for a G/L account, this entry only applies to the items which are posted afterwards. At the date of the change, the account must display
    a zero balance. Also, when canceling this indicator, the balance must be zero. You therefore have to clear the remaining open items before making the change in the master record.
    FYI - Please make sure that only following accounts are required to be maintained as an ‘Open Item management Accounts’ : 
    Cash discount clearing account
    Clearing accounts
    Bank clearing account
    GR/IR clearing account
    Salary/Payroll clearing account
    Non Open Item Managed Accounts are as under:
    Bank accounts
    Tax accounts
    Reconciliation accounts
    Raw material accounts
    Thanks

  • GL acct change to Open Item management (with archived docu.)

    Dear all,
      When we use program ZRFSEPA02(copy from RFSEPA02) to switch on OI mang for GL acct,but program prompt this acct have documents were<b> archived and NOT allow to execute!</b>  I know SAP announced RFSEPA02 was not usable since 4.5A,but users insist to use old GL acct,and ask SAP OSS and replied for consultant issue.
    So is there any ways to solve this problem?

    As you would not get to see the old docs even if the program did work then you should go the recommended route of creating a new G/L Account (with open item management switched on) and redirect your users and any system settings to it.

    HI,
    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 management of GL account

    Hi all
    I am trying to activate open item mangement indicator for my tax account for around 30 company codes. I could able to activate for all exept one company code and i am receiving the massage as
    "You cannot change the open item management setting".
    Any suggetions???
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I think that Gl has some postings into it and so it will not allow you to change the OI management status. You transfer all the balance fron that GL to Other Dummy GL and the Try to change the status. Even the if it is not allowing the execute the following
    Open Item Management
    If you are in an new GL environment, you cannot change it; a new account is required as you may have to abandon the old one.
    Are you release 4.5 A or earlier? Then SAP supports the change program RFSEPA02/03 after you zero down the balance of the balance sheet account. Beyond 4.5A and untill New GL, you can change it but beware, SAP no longer supports RFSEPA02/03, since handling errors frequently occurred in the past causing data inconsistencies.
    If you nevertheless want to use the reports, copy them to ZFSEPA02 or ZFSEPA03 and mark the following lines as comments:
    INITIALIZATION.
    CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_DISPLAY_TEXT'
    EXPORTING
    POPUP_TITLE = ' '
    TEXT_OBJECT = 'RFSEPA02' ('RFSEPA03')
    EXCEPTIONS
    TEXT_NOT_FOUND = 1
    OTHERS = 2.
    LEAVE PROGRAM.
    In addition, you must adjust the EPA00F00 include. Mark the following line as comment:
    INCLUDE EPA00F00.
    *>>>> START OF DELETION - NOTE 175960 <<<<
    CHECK SY-REPID = 'RFSEPA02'. "<<<< INSERT - NOTE 0065877
    *>>>> END OF DELETION - NOTE 175960 <<<<
    Enhance the following line:
    INCLUDE EPA00F00.
    *>>>> START OF INSERTION - NOTE 175960 <<<<
    CHECK SY-REPID = 'ZFSEPA02'. "<<<< INSERT - NOTE 0175960

    teh error message is as below
    You cannot change the open item management setting; (see long text)
    Message no. FH087
    any help
    kind regards
    Sunitha

    Hi,
    It does not matter whether an account has zero balance or not, you cannot change it to open item managed as far as they were already transactions posted to it.
    As already mentioned you need to to run report RFSEPA02. Copy it to ZFSEPA02 and deactivate limitations in the program in accordance with SAP Note 175960.
    SAP does not support this report because it may cause differences between totals and sum of open items.

  • Changing Open Item Management Settings

    Hi,
    When iam trying to change the open item management settings i am getting the error that Account balance is zero, but the account has open items. Why iam getting this error? and how to resolve this.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    was the message : FH190 generated when you change the o"pen line item management flag"?
    The error message FH190 prevents users from switching off the Open item management indicator when open items already exist. Please consider the following options:
    1)  Change error message FH190 to warning message via transaction OBA5.
         Enter application area FH.  Press Enter.  Click on New entries.
        MsgNo                    Online           Batchl
        190                      W                W
        Click on Save.
    2)  Create new G/L account with Open item management indicator turned OFF via transaction FS00.  Transfer balance from old G/L account  (open item management ON) to new G/L account (open item management OFF).
    Please review note 606977 for further info.
    Also check NOTE 403744 which may be helpful to use. However, this is aConsulting note where is also advised not to activate the line item management but to transfer the items to this new account.

  • Open Item Management changed retrospectively

    We currently have a series of GL account set up in our production environment which do not have the Open Item Management ticked. As there are currently posted open items and the account balance is not zero we cannot change the flag retrospectively.
    Rather than creating new GL Accounts, is there a way we can move the GL docs to a 'dummy' GL account, alter the required GL, then re-apply the docs to the original account (and delete the dummy)?
    The change in the flag could cause an issue with re-applying the docs and we're not particularly keen on the idea of changing the info on the GL Docs. Any ideas how we could resolve this?
    Thank you

    Hi Nicola,
    If you are ECC - =>EHP3 SAP Standared provided T.Code for activating open items for already posted entries.
    T.Code: FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP
    Program: FAGL_SWITCH_TO_OPEN_ITEM
    Pleasse Let me know still you have any issue on it.

  • GL Open Item Managed Flag Changed Historically - Orphan items left on acct

    Back in 2000 for some of our GLs the Open Item Managed flag was changed.  Initially it was not checked but now it is. We know that SAP doesn't really let you do it anymore but apparently back then whoever did it didn't follow what was then the suggested procedure.  As a result we have an account balance of say 500,000 which I can see in FS10N however if I run it for all open items in FBL3N I get 450,000 because 50,000 are not open or cleared.  I can't go in and clear these off against anything because they are not open item managed.  Is there a program that can be ran to make them open? 
    I thought RFSEPA01 would do the trick and after running it in our QA environment the log states:
    Line Items Year Remark
             1 2000 Document selected
             1 2000 Document changed
    However when I go to F-03 it still won't bring the documents in as it says they are not open item managed.
    Sure enough if I go look in table BSIS at the document the Open Item Managed flag is not set. 
    What's the best procedure to resolve these?  Do I have to create a Z program that will flag the Open Item Managed field (XOPVW) and then clear these documents off against something?
    TIA

    Hello,
    Please check the SAP note 175960.                                                                               
    As explained in the note 175960, is not possible to subsequently          
    activate the open item management under some conditions.                                                                               
    With NewGL, the split information on open items is stored in              
    FAGL_SPLINFO and FAGL_SPLINFO_VAL which are only updated when the         
    document is being posted through active document split. Also RFSEPA02     
    does not update these tables.                                                                               
    If you are NOT using NEW/GL with doc split (inactive), you may create     
    add-on report by copying RFSEPA02 and adding modification on the report   
    per note 175960.                                                                               
    As the note states, if you decide to take RFSEPA02 approach,     
    please do so at your own risk. Possible problems (such as data            
    inconsistency) can only be handled by SAP within chargeable remote               
    consulting.

  • How to Change Open Item Management Field in GL Master Record

    Hi,
    How to change the field Open Item Management becz eventhough I tried through in norrmal way of making it that GL balance to 0 and made the change after that it not allowing to save and throwing the following errors,
    Account Balance = 0 but open items exist is the error coming,
    Can any one plz advice ?

    Hi,
    Once transaction data is posted, GL Account cannot be made into an open item managed account. However, you can consider the following options:
    1. GL Account Balance is ZERO: If the GL Account balance is ZERO, the GL Master record can be changed to Open Item managed Account or vice versa. But this will not change the transaction data already posted. Only future transaction data will be open item managed.
    2. Until SAP version 4.0B SAP has provided a program to convert a GL Account to open item managed account after transaction data is posted (or vice versa). You can execute this program by blocking the GL Account and this will make the required changes in tables and also change GL Master record.
    But this program is not available for execution in higher versions. Hence, you can copy the program into a Z Program and execute it. The name of the standard program is RFSEPA02.
    Thanks

  • Change open item management status

    Hi,
    We found the some GL accounts are maintained with no open item management status and already have postings in those GL accounts.
    No, our client is aksing us to rectify the all this kind of accounts with no open item management.
    Earlier we rectified this problem with zRFSEPA02.
    But it is creating some problems in their reporting. Now my client is asking us to suggest a solution other than zRFSEPA02.
    Because there are around hundres of accounts in no.of company codes say around more than 30 company codes.
    Please let me, is there any solution to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Thanks& Regards,

    1.  Out of 4 G/L, we have managed to change 2 of the G/Ls to open item using ZRFSEPA02.
    2.  While other 2 encounter error "Line item total does not tally with account balance."
         - Message no. FH099
    3.  Basically we have make the account zero and blocked these G/Ls for posting before executing program
         ZRFSEPA02 and still can't find out what went wrong since the steps are the same.
    4.  Anyhow we can now tick all 4 G/Ls to Open Item Management with the successful G/Ls showing
         their line item as open item in FBL3N while those failed G/Ls currently showing line item as posted in the similar report.
    Running SAP 4.7

    We have successfully change to open item management for another set of G/Ls and the steps are below:-
    (a)  make sure all the balances were carried forward for all related ledgers which in our case we have 2, 00 and S
    (b)  ensure G/L account zero for all doc crcy, local crcy1, local crcy2 and local crcy3 (transfer for temp. to conversion purpose G/L)
    (c)  blocked all the related G/Ls
    (d)  execute ZRFSEPA02 for all the related G/Ls
    (e)  unblock the G/Ls from step (c)

  • Change GL acc to NON open item Management

    Good day all
    We have a couple of GL accounts that the client want to change from open item management to NON open item management.
    I was told to  1. Block the GL accounts
                        2.  Clear the balances,
                        3.  Customize program RFSEPA03 to Z program and run
                        4.  Move balance back to GL account
                        5. Unblock GL account.
    My question now is, I can change the open item setting after the balance is cleared and save the changes, so why do I have to use program RFSEPA03 then? Is there any other purpose for program RFEPS03 other dan taking the "tick" out of the OPen Item Management box?
    If I do it manually, it will save me development time as the program wont be needed in a customized format.
    Please advice.
    Kind regards

    Hi Gopal,
    You can maitian a gl a/c without line item display to do so follow the path
    sap easy access-accouting-financial accouting-general ledger-master records-gl a/cs-individual processing-centrally, or trans code FS00
    then open the gl account in the required company code and click control data ,then  click change and under account management in company code u can un check line item display and save the changes.
    Make sure line item display is off for recon accounts as the line item are maintained at customer or vendor level and for bank a/c line item should always be ticked on .
    Hope this is helpful if so  reward points.

  • 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.
    Please assign  points if it useful.
