Change customer reconcilliation account

Hi guru's,
i received the requirement to report sales for 2 customers no longer as "intercompany sales" but as "sales 3rd".
In our G/L we have a differentation in accounts. Therefor I would like to change the reconcilliation account for the 2 customers. SAP displays a message when switching between reconcilliation accounts, but i'm not getting anywhere with it. (we have open lines on the account)
What is the impact of switching the recon. account?
What to do with the open balances on the old recon account? In the SAP help there is a program mentioned to carry over the balance to the new account, is this a must?
What's the impact on the month and year end closing process?
Remains the reported revenue/marging as 'intercompany' for the rest of the year when swithching recon.account? (so no shift or reclassification of reported revenue/marging to '3rd')
Thank you.

the thread you sent me answers part of my questions (namely the fact that I need multiple recon adjustment accounts and the basic steps for executing F101 (FAGLF101).
However, with regards to my other questions, here is what I am interpreting from the thread.
1. Is there something that I will need to do each month or will this be a one time situation only for me?
Assumed answer: I will need to run this every month until the balance of the old recon account for the customers in question is zero.
2. Will/are there any special steps required for clearing the open items once the reconciliation accounts have been changed?
Assumed answer: Apparently not. I will clear the old items (posted but not cleared at the time I changed the recon account) from the old recon account; clear new items (posted and cleared after I change the recon account) for the customer for the new recon account.
Am I correct on this?
Any additional help that you can provide me will be greatly appreciated.

Change Customer Reconciliation Account

I need some assistance in verifying the steps for changing Recon account for a group of customers.
Scenario. We have a group of customers (about 60) who have postings to them. Some of the posting are open and some are cleared. We need to change the reconciliation account on these customers. We are running under ECC 6.0
I know how to change the reconciliation account on the customer. That is not a problem. The problem comes with handling the open and cleared items already posted to these customers.
I believe that at some point in time I need to run trans F101. In order to run this transaction I need to define an adjustment account using transaction OBBW. One of my questions here is do I define this as an adjustment account for both the old and the new reconciliation account or for just the old reconciliation account.
Now most of my questions relate to:
1. What are the steps required in order to run F101(FAGLF101 for 6.0)?
2. Is there something that I will need to do each month or will this be a one time situation only for me?
3. Will/are there any special steps required for clearing the open items once the reconciliation accounts have been changed?
4. Is there anything else (any gotchas) that I should be aware of?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Changing Customer recon account in Customer Master

Hello everyone,
I have come across an issue and I would sincerely appreciate some help. Points available.
In the Sandbox, under the Customer Master, I have a customer (let's call it Customer # 55). The reconciliation account defined in the Acct Mangement area is 110000 (Trade A/R). This is incorrect. I need to change the recon acct to 150000 just for this customer 55. The rest of the customers all go to the original Trade A/R acct GL 110000. The problem is that the recon acct field is greyed out, so I am unable to change it.
I have read on this forum that you cannot change it if transaction exist, however, I have not performed any transactions for this particular customer (#55). I have performed transactions for other customers that have posted to the 110000 Trade A/R acct. Since no transactions exist for Customer 55, is there a way for me to change the recon account?
I tried changing the settings in OB20, but that did not help. I would appreciate your thoughts.

In OB20 on change customer account under company data, it the Recon account optional?
Moreover, Account has been posted to,by changing the reconciliation account in the open item master record, only , the proportionate values from the items open at the time of change are not posted to the new reconciliation account.
Which means it still should be possible to change
The documentation further reads
"On the balance sheet key date the open items from the old reconciliation account are allocated to the new reconciliation account using adjustment accounts. This allocation is carried out automatically when you create a sorted list of receivables and payables using report SAPF101.
The postings necessary are only carried out for G/L accounts and are cancelled on the first day of the subsequent month (balance sheet adjustment posting)."

Please can you provide steps to hange recon ac by transferring balance to other account?
How we can deal with open/clear line items of that customer.

Hi
A rather simple way will be to set up a simple substitution rule for that particular customer in GGB1. You can write a simple substitution rule as under
Prerequisite:
BKPF-BUKRS=1000 and BSEG-KUNNR=1001112
Substitution
BSEG-PRCTR =101332
You should activate this rule for entire Document

Change customer / vendor account group

Hi,
I want to change the account group of a vendor. I tried XK07, but I then get a message about "Critical field groups" that would be switched off in the new target account group and then SAP doesn't let me change the account group.
The "critical field groups", however, are not critical to me at all and they are not relevant to my vendor master account. Does anyone know how to proceed in this case and if it's still possible to change the account group?
Thanks in advance.

How to change the Reconciliation Account of a Customer.

Hi Everybody,
I went through few posts from users regarding the change of Reconciliation Account in Customer Master, but nowhere the complete process of change of Reconciliation Account is explained. Can anyone throw some light on this and tell the complete procedure of changing the Reconciliation Account in the customer Master.
Thanks.

Dear Himanshu,
There is no specific process of changing the reconciliation account in customer master because it is not recommended and when you change the reconciliation account in the customer master then system will stop you at all. If you want to change then please follow steps mentioned below.
1. Clear all the open of the customer whose reconciliation account you want to change. If open item exists and you change then this balance will lie forever in the trial balance which Accounting Standard will not allow.
2. Once the customer balance does not exist then you can change reconciliation account.
Another way to do is
1. You create a copy of the customer you want to change the reconciliation account, put the new reconciliation account in the copied customer.
2. Then you transfer all posting to the new customer so customer with old reconciliation account will be nil.
If your profit center functionality is active and document splitting is not active with profit center characteristics then please avoid the second alternative

Chintan Joshi.

Change in Reconciliation Account of Vendor/Customer

Hi Experts,
Can any one please tell me the scenarios where in we change the reconciliation account for the customer and vendor. If we change, what are the precautions we have to take in terms of transferring balance or open items from old reconciliation account to new reconciliation account?
Thanks,
SravanK

Hi,
There is no problem to change the account number in the vendor or customer master data, that is :
All Document Items that were created in the old account will be posted in the same old account when you have a payment posting, compensations, etc.
All document created after the change will be posted in the new account as well as the payment postings, compensations and others.
The system will separate the postings in accordance with the moment at the documents were created.
You can do a test in the development client before you do the change in the production.
For example :-
You can create a new reconciliation account because you want the G/L accounts to separate out sales. Just switched the setting in Customer Master and off you go. SAP will recognized the old account for the old postings and used the new account for any new postings.
You should run balance sheet adjustment program after any reconciliation account change.
The system performs any adjustments required due to the change of reconciliation accounts or G/L accounts. The items from the old reconciliation accounts are allocated to the new accounts.
Since you cannot post to the reconciliation accounts directly, the postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts.
These adjustment accounts should be displayed along with the relevant reconciliation account in the balance sheet. The postings are then reversed after the balance sheet has been created.
The program for sorting the payables and receivables makes the necessary adjustments automatically. This means that you have to define the adjustment account numbers and the posting keys for these postings in the system.
If you purchase and install the FI-LC Consolidation application and have bought up a previous customer or vendor (thus also taking on his/her payables and receivables), please refer to the note in the report documentation on changed reconciliation accounts. To define the account numbers, select the activity Define adjustment accounts for changed reconciliation accounts in the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Implementation Guide.
You should only run this program if your new reconciliation account is classified differently from the original in your FS. e.g.. AR to Intercompany accounts. It will just reclassify the existing balance. The line items will not be transferred. If not then no need to run the program at all.

Sreehari

Change of Reconciliation account for Customer/Vendor.

Dear All,
I need to change the reconciliation account for customer, after changing recon account i want the balance from the old recon account to be transfered to new recon accont.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
Once you made any change of reconciliation account in customer master, you are required to execute F.5D.
Please read the documentation available on this.
This will adjust the postings made to old reconciliation account to new reconciliation.
Hopefully, it should solve your problem.
Thanks,

Change in customer reconciliation account

Dear Friends,
Can we change Reconciliation accounts in Customer master records ? If we can, so what about the old reconciliation account data or balance? How do we capture data from old reconciliation account to new reconciliation account?
Please explain in complete details the exact procedure which we need to follow to correctly post data

Hi Sanjeev
It might be possible.. Try this
1. Go to FS00 -Enter the Recon accounts (Old and New) and tick the field "Ready For Input"
2. Assign the New Recon account against the Old recon account
IMG > FI > Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Business Transactions > Postings with Alternative Reconciliation Account > Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts....
3. Now make a transfer posting from F-02, Dr and Cr the same customer... In the Dr Line item, change the Recon account and in the Cr Line item, do not change the same

Customer Reconciliation Account Change

Hello Friends,
Our client had a requirement of changing the recon account for customer.
Customer A (recon account 100) already had line items posted from last 2 years, these line items are cleared also.
Now business wants the recon account for this customer A to be G/L#200. Along with that the reporting in balance sheet for this customer is required to be in recon GL 200.
In order to achieve this we did the following:
1. We made the balance of the customer account zero by transfereing the balance to temperory GL account. (Accounting document # 1200001 created)
2. Changed the recon account in customer master from 100 to 200.
3. Made reversal entry, i.e., transfered the balance from temperory GL account to customer account. (Accounting document # 1200002 created)
4. In balance sheet now the balance is transfered to recon account 200.
But now there is a problem, the customer statement has two open items (documents 1200001 & 1200002) when we are clearing these open items in the customer the impact created earlier with step 3 is getting reversed i.e., the balance from recon account 200 is getting nullified and its going back to recon account 100.
We just want to clear the customer open item how can we do this?
Please suggest.
Regards

Hi,
you cannot change reconciliation Account for old Line Items. The SAP provides transaction code F101 to define that but it uses extra accounting to adjust balance sheet groups.
The only way is reverse clearing document by FBRA. Go to F-32 and clear the invoice against a new invoice with same a mount and posting date. Afterwards you clear this new invoice (Acc 200) and you will have your balance sheet equalized.
regards

Change customer Account Group

Hi Experts,
We have two different account groups with different number Ranges. When i try to change the customer account group from one to other through XD07 system given the following warning message.
Customer 600021 not in External Sold-to-Party
- number range 0000100001-0000199999
Message number F2691
We have tried to change this warning message in to Error message through OBMSG and OBA5
after that also system showing warning message.
Where we do mistake? is there any other process to do the changing message?

Hi,
If You are trying to change the account group of a customer whose partner function is Sold-to-party.
Changes to the account group and the relevent partner functions only made from lower level to higher level.
Example:
Sold-to-party cannot be assigned the function of a payer(Higher level to lower level) because you are trying to change the higher level partner function.
Your can assign sold-to-party function to a payer (Lower level to higher level) because you are trying to change lower level partner function.
