How to change status of open item management check box??

Dear Members,
There is a GL which was not defined as Open Item Management Previously.
Now we Identified and we wanted to define it as Open Item Managed account.
For ex take ..Payable Account
say there is one line item with credit balance ..to make this accoount balance as 0 (ZERO)  ..we reversed the original entry ..we tried to select open item check box..
but system is not allowing us to change ..instead its giving msg"Account balance is zero but stil open items exists"
i dont understan this ..
now how to solve this problem
thanks & regards.

Hi suja csc,
Thanks for the points : )
OK it's very easy to transfer the balance. Either u have already customised program to upload data or if the data is "little" u can just manual posting using FB01. just zerorise all balances in the old account.
Eg. old journal:
01  MAN        NIAGA SDN.              1,975.00 
50  80070010   Rental-Car Park              1,975.00-
To transfer:
17  MAN        NIAGA SDN.              1,975.00-
40  80070010   Rental-Car Park              1,975.00
Means, the account will be zero.
Hope this will help you.
TQ

  • Change status to open item basis

    Hi Sapients
    I have an issue in the master record of GL Account. It is a tax account and is not open item managed. We would want to convert the same to open item basis. However, there is a lot of line items and outstanding balance in the GL.
    How can the same be resolved?
    Regards
    Vaibhav

    Dear Vaibhav
    You can transfer the line items to another GL Account through a BDC and make the balances zero. Than block the old GL account for posting. Thereafter, pls use RFSEPA02 to change the status. There after removing the posting block, transfer the old items back to your old GL.
    But I still feel very strongly, that you should transfer the line items to a new GL Account and Change your GL Account Assignment.
    Thanks & Best Regards

  • Change Account to Open Item Managed

    Hi All
    I need to change some GL accounts that are not open item managed to open item managed...
    However, all these accounts have balances in them and wouldnt let me change it...
    And there is no way the customer will clear these balances... so is there any possibility for me to change the master data for these GL Accounts?
    Will using the &sap_edit function in SE16n for table SKB1 be the correct way to go about it?
    Thank you
    Rukshana

    Hi,
    Could you brief me about the issue or correct if I am wrong:
    1) GL Account managed as non-open item amanegement.
    2) you want to manage as OIM.
    In this situation.
    1) Make the GL Balance ZERO by transfering GL transcation to another account..
    2) Switch on GL as OIM.
    3) Retransfer transcations
    What ever transctions you are transfering now, may be cleared through F-31.
    Thanks,

  • 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

  • Open Item Management Error

    FI experts,
    I am getting teh following error when trying to post thru an interface, "Account Type M and G/L with open item management not permitted"
    I went to FS00 and tried to check off Open item management, but account gave me an error, that it canno change it.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Hello,
    You cannot create both an account as a Reconciliation Type (M) as well as open item management for an account.
    The system only accept either of one.
    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.

  • Activate "Open Item Management" for account, line items posted previously

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    I am having a problem when do a clearing for GL account due to "open item management" check box in Txn FS00 is not activated and only "Line Item Display" is activated. For your info,  there are line items already posted and now we want this GL as an "Open Item Management". We are using ECC 6.0.
    I did referred to a previous posting in this Forums Activate "Open Item Management" for an Asset, line items posted previously but i received these errors when following the solution. The errors are like below:
    *Account 0039091200 is a reconciliation account in company code 5000
    *Company code 5000 is not considered for the activation
    What does it means by these errors? How do i rectify this error?
    Thanking you in advance.
    Regards,
    Nazrul

    Hi,
    1. Executing report RFSEPA02 has a risk and also doubtful since it is not applicable in ECC 6.0 (New GL).
    2. Create a New G/L with Open item management and transfer the balance to the newly created G/L.
    Refer the earlier threads / replies else last option contact SAP (OSS).

  • Open item management in GL master data

    Hi
    We created GL master data in 2000 and that time "open item management" was not selected.
    Later in 2004 we needed "open item management" so we canged settings.
    now the problem is we are not able to see cleared items for that GL A/C.
    even if we clear also it is still showing open item only.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello
    If you have created a GL account without selecting open item managment check box and lateron you found that it should have been maintained on Open item basis,the system will not alow you to mark the checkbox as open item mangt if some open items still exist.
    First make the account balance to zero by clearing the account.Even if the system issue a error msg try these:
    Block the relevant account for posting in the company code
    Run program ZFSEPA03
    Unblock the account
    In earlier versions there was a program which when run allows you to maintain OI for future transactions, but I am not sure about this now

  • Open Item Management status on G/L

    Hi Everyone,
    One of the GL account is not allowing to change its status to Open Item Management. We tried to convert this, but the process could not be completed because the sum of the transactions did not equal the balance (by 448.69).
    It appears that the transactions that occurred up to P3 2002 (-448.69) are not present or not recognised by the system. The earliest transactions that can be selected in GL are in Jan 2003.
    Would be greatful if you'd post to shed any light on this issue?
    Reg,
    Support Team.

    Hi,
        It is possible that line item management was not activated until after postings had already been made. (Check the change logs for the effected account).
    If using classic G/L  you can run RFSEPA01 to correct this. Subsequently use RFSEPA02 to activate open item management.
    Kind regards

    Hi,
    You can activate the OI mangement for GL accuonts through FS00 (GL Master Data). Have you made any transactions to those GL Accounts. If you wish to use the original account number, first you must make the account balance to zero , and then activate the OI check box
    Or you can create a new account with the correct account assignment and transfer the balance fm the old account to the new account.
    The GL will be open item managed only with effect from the date of activating the OI check box.
    hope this helps

    If you are in ECC with Doc Splitting, SAP Recommend that, once doc posted with non open item selection GL A/c,
    SAP Provided Information:

  • Open Item Managed A/c

    Hi
    In FS00, I have created Rent payable a/c -200000 as an open item managed a/c, and posted one transaction in F-02 (DR Rent a/c and Cr Rent payable a/c)now I want to remove check list of open item managed a/c, for that I have created one more a/c
    Rent payable 1 -200001 and post transaction DR 20000 a/c and CR 200001 a/c. Then tried to change FS00, still getting an error msg" even though the a/c balance is zero, the account still contains payable, so you cannot change the status of open item managed a/c. How to do it?
    Regards

    Hi,
    You need to settle the account to 0 (Zero) in order to change the configuration of it. You can make a fictitious posting, change the account configuration, and then reverse the posted document.
    You have to follow the following steps:
    1. Copy the ZRFSEPA02 to ZRFSEPA02
    2. Append the error check that is being written. (Initiation Check).Use of RFSEPA02 is not recommended by SAP. However, SAP Note 175960 details, on your risk, how to modify the program and use it.
    3. Block the GL Account for Posting
    4. Run the Program ZRFSEPA02 (which is modified)
    5. Note that this program will not work if your line item and open items balances are mistmatched.
    6. Unblock GL Account
    Thank You.

  • 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,
    Wilson

    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.
