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

Bank GL to be updated with open item management in GL master
Dear Friends,
As I have missed out to put the tick mark to manage the open items for one new GL code which was created for Bank, while doing the Bank reconciliation for this GL, System is giving a message as " There are no open items managed in the respective account ".
As our users were updated some entries in this GL, I have reversed these entries and made it as ZERO balance.
After these reversal, I went to change the GL status thro FS00 to meet the open items requirments but our SAP is not allowing to SAVE with this changes and it is showing error message as " Account balance = 0 but open items exist in the account" .
In view of the above, we are unable to proceed for BRS and please note that even if I go to clear all these open items available in this GL thro F-03, it is not allowing to clear the same.
If possible, please guide me immediately as it is my important issue.
Thanks
G. JanaHi,
It would be better instead of clearing manually clear with RFSEPA02 (Which is to activate open item management in middle correction has to take)
Hope this will helpful to you.
Thanks n regards,

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.

Activate open item management in GL
hi experts,
can any body help me to change the GL master data, I want to activate the open item management in gl master but system does not allow me to do that bcs there is some transactional data.
how to active open item in that particular gl.
help me
Thanks & Regards
Sureshhi,
system never allow you to change the master data, if there is any transaction data. if you want to make that gl as a open Item management, unless the balance is 0
1) first you have to make the gl as a 0 balance... so you have to reverse all the transactions. then the gl would be 0 balance... using fb08.
2) then change the gl master data as a open item management.. now system allows you to do..
3) then re-reverse the reversed documents....
I think it will be useful to you..
assign points if it is useful...
regards.

Open Item Management activation for GL accounts in ECC 6.00
Hi Experts,
There is an issue about Open item Management activation for GL line items of FBLL03 for VAT GL code. Unexpectdly do not check the open item management in VAT GL account Master record while created the GL master record in 2007. Now we activated Open item Management in GL master record for same GL to nulify the balances with setoff account and same reversed after activation. Now issue is how it is possible to activate Open item Management for previously posted documents ? Is there any standard SAP Program for ECC 6.00 Release SAP _APPL 600.
Please revert.
Best Rgds
SumaManiHi PVC,
I got below mentioned message while execute the suggested program in SAP.Please suggest
Do not use the report program to set up open item management for the
account.
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.

Error- Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted
Hi,
Can't we post to a GL, which is open item managed, in a non-leading ledger (statutory ledger)? We get this error when we try to post an entry, in the statutory ledger, to a GL that is open item managed.
Can anybody explain this, please?
Regards,
MikeThis is due to a design with the new GL.
In the new G/L accounting, when you use a particular ledger or ledger group, you can no longer make a direct ledger specific posting to accounts managed on an open item basis or to accounts with an account type not equal to 'S'.
You need to do posting with ledger group blank, which updates all the ledgers. The idea is, for open item accounts, all the ledgers should be in sync. for open item accounts IFRS and Local GAAP values are never different.
If you are doing this to do some correction posting while doing year end posting or migration for example. (A typical example is when an account is made open item managed at a later date). You need to change temporarily message control using transaction SE91 to force ledger specific postings to OI accounts -
Data in BSIS/BSAS for a non-open item managed account
Hi
We have a GL account (Bank account) which does not have open item management checked in its master data,
Still I can find line items for this account in table BSIS / BSAS
How is this possible ? and if an account is not open item managed, how do the records move from BSIS to BSAS ?
Regards
SachinNon Open Item Account should have entries only in Table BSIS and no entries in BSAS. Check if there was OpenItem mgmt earlier but deactivated later.

GL Master -Open Item Management, Post Automatically
Hi All,
Hear I have a question.
A) Why should we select either 1.Openitem Management 2.Post Automatically or bouth to a G/L Master.
OR
B) In which situation we have to select either 1.Openitem Management 2.Post Automatically or bouth a the time of creating any G/L Master.
ThankuHi,
1. Open Item Managed account means there will be matching debits anbd credits in a GL Accounts which can be cleared. For example GR/IR clearing account is an open item managed account. The Goods receipt documents are to be cleared with invoice receipt documents.
2. Post Automatically menas manual entries are not permitted, Entries get posted through FI - MM/SD integration. For example when a billing document is posted in SD an accounting entry to Revenue / Customer are posted automatically. Revenue account is set up as auto posting only and this will ensure that SD and FI values always match.
Example of Open Item managed and Post automatically is GR/IR clearing account.
Thanks

Activate open item management on G/L with existing line items
Hello all,
I have a G/L account with line items on it. I want to activate open item management now.
I can do that in several ways and have also managed to do it.
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 to be marked as "cleared" so they will disappear from the open item inquiry report.
I have found several SAP notes about this behaviour and know that SAP recommends to create a new account and then re-post. In this particular case, however, I have lots of reasons to keep the existing account.
My question is therefore if someone knows how to make the existing line items disappear from the open item inquiry. We are on SAP 4.6C and switching to ERP 6.0 so would be interested in both systems. By the way, I also found several info about FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP but this seems to be for the new G/L which we don't use.
Thanks in advance for any input.
RenéI just saw this question now, if solution is still necessary you can read on
First: you can make an account open item only if the account has no balance. You mentioned there are postings on the account. If these postings make a zero balance all together (i. e. the debits and credits are equal):
1. change the master data
2. run program RFSEPA02 to change the existing items
3. clear the items
If the postings do not make zero, than you have to first make the account balance zero, carry out the above steps and reverse the posting mentioned previously.
The above works for 4.6x and ECC 6.0 systems as well. -
Activate Open Item Management for a tax GL account
Hi experts
I have tried different options and explored forums but haven't been able to find the solution as yet.
I have some tax GL accounts (Tax Category field in their GL master is < or > i.e. Input or Output Tax Account). There have been postings to these accounts but these accounts are not open item managed. To perform clearing for these accounts, I need to activate OIM for which I'm trying FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP but the system gives me error"
"Not possible to determine tax indicator in company code xxxx
Company code xxxx is not considered for the activation"
When I further drilldown the error, i find the following information:
Diagnosis
Postings to the selected account require a tax code. On the basis of the company code data (T001), the system tried to determine a tax code for zero tax. However, there is no such tax code stored for the company code.
Procedure
Specify the tax code for zero tax in the company code. You do this in Customizing for Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) under Assign Tax Codes for Non-Taxable Transactions.
I have checked settings in OBCL for Non-Taxable Transactions and found that I0 and O0 are maintained for Input and Output tax (also tax jurisdiction). In Table T001 I also find these entries so these seem to be complete.
Can somebody please help me sorting out this issue.
Many thanks!
MoazzamHi,
Some G/L accounts cannot be managed on an open item basis,
specially G/L accounts that are used in account determination for
automatic transactions (ie: accounts set up as bank accounts, Tax
accounts, raw material accounts, reconciliation accounts, profit and
loss accounts).
It is the standard design of the FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP that there is no
conversion of a tax account to open item management.
Processes as the posting of the sales/purchases tax payable do not
process any clearing transactions therefore the open item management is
not necessary. Clearings must really never be posted to an input VAT or
output vat tax account, otherwise it would prevent subsequent processes
on the actual open items (Customer or vendor). The only tax account on
which the open item management should be possible is the G/L account of
the deferred tax.
Hope my information was helpful for you.

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.
BSRHello 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

Issue with open item management
Hi Gurus
i wanted to activate open item tick in the gl master data. as i know that account should ahve zero balance.
when i was trying to select Open item managemetn and save it was allowed for me for company code AR01 but not for company code AR02, those two accounts having zero balance and both are same accounts.
teh error message is as below
You cannot change the open item management setting; (see long text)
Message no. FH087
any help
kind regards
SunithaHi,
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.

Message FH017 Open item management only allowed for balance sheet accounts
Hi,
While creating a new GL account with P&L type it's giving the above message. If I select the BS type indicator, it's saving without any error.
I observed, account group selection is creating this problem. Since creation of other accounts in other accounts groups doesn't get such problems.
Any clues??
Thanks in advance

How to activate open item management of rgl account
Hi GURU'S
i have one issue with acivate of open itme management check box, as i knew there is one program RFSEPA02 but its not working for 5.0 version,
how can i acivate the Open item management option for already existed GL accounts
please expalin me the steps
thanks
sunithaHi,
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
regards,
radhika
