Change master data setting - Vendor reconciliation account

Is it possible to change the configuration of a G/L account currently setup as a vendor reconciliation account (that has a balance) to a regular a balance sheet sheet account?
If yes, what actions do I need to do?
Are there any risks in doing this?
Can I perform a similiar change for a G/L account currently setup as a regular balance sheet account that I instead want to use as a vendor reconciliation account?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards Susan

Hello,
Answers to your questions:
Question:
It is possible to change a reconciliation account into a balance sheet account but the current items in the reconciliation account should be manually moved to another account
Answer:
If there is a single line item posted(whether the balance is zero or not), it WILL NOT allow you change the reconciliation account in the GL master record.
Question:
-New postings will however be posted to the new reconciliation account set up in the vendor master
Answer:
If you want to update a new reconciliation in vendor master, then create a fresh GL Account as reconciliation type for Vendor and update the vendor master with new GL Reconciliation Account. When you have done the new postings, new entries will flow to new Reconciliation Account, but the old entries will remain be there in the old reconciliation GL Account. To move the old reconciliation entries to new reconciliation entries executed F.5D (Balance Sheet Adjustment). Please read the documentation available on transaction code F.5D
Question:
-What inconsistency in data are you referring to below? - No Inconsistency
-What reports would these differences appear in? - No differences
-Is there any risk of making a balance sheet account into a vendor reconciliation account (when baalnces exist)? - Vendor Reconciliation Account is a Balance Sheet Account only. This is a liability account in your Trail Balance.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.
Regards,
Ravi

Hi
Created a New GL Account for Adjustment Postings
Changed the Vendor Master Data with regard to NEW Reconciliation Account
Updated the FI Auto Postings Configuration: Trxn: OBBW (Transaction Key: A00: Transfer postings: changed recon. acct) as under:
Old Reconciliation Account = Adjust Acct xyz
New Reconciliation Account = Adjust Acct xyz
Run F101, with the intention, that the Balances / Open Items from OLD Recon would be MOVED to the NEW Recon.
On running F101 and then Clicking on Postings, I got several entries, whereof none showed the impact on the NEW Reconciliation Account.
Lastly I ran F.01 Balance Sheet, and here, still the OLD Recon appeared.

Changing a vendor reconciliation account

Dear all
I am trying to change a vendor reconciliation account. When I try to save the change it gives me the warning below but it does not let me change the account.
'Account has been posted to; hold balance sheet adjustment'
Can you please tell me what I need to do to change this.
Thank you
PRG

Hello PRG,
In general you can only change recon account when balance is zero. In
your case, when you try to change via FD02, you will receive
the warning F2 067: Account has been posted to; hold balance sheet
adjustment.
If you look at the long text of the warning message, it will
tell you exactly what to do:-
"By changing the reconciliation account in the open item master record
the proportionate values from the items open at the time of change are
not posted to the new reconciliation account.
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)."
From the above, it explains that you will need to run SAPF101. Please
read the documentation on this report to guide to to be able to proceed
further. Documentation on this report/program exists when you go via
SA38>goto>documentation. From here, you should be able to proceed in
transfer posting.
I hope this helps.

APP selection parameter by vendor reconciliation account

Friends,
while creating APP, we need to enter the parameters like vendor codes, instead of vendor code, is it possible to give the vendor reconciliation account, so that all vendor codes which are having same vendor codes can process for payment.
regards,

Hi,
Go to F110 > Free Selection Tab.
Do F4 on the "Field Name" and select "Others" then select "Vendor Master Data"
And then choose field "Reconciliation acct" (LFB1-AKONT)
Now in the "value" field in free selection tab, enter the reconciliation account number. (Give the full 10 digit reconciliation account number with leading zeros if any.)
It will meet your purpose.

Good morning to all,i have one doubt regarding creating a new Bank Master Data in Production, please help me.My user has a requirement which is like one Cash Credit Account has been opened with SBI bank where with the same bank and branch there is already an existing Current Account,now my client wants from me to create a bank master data for the new bank Cash Credit Account( as he is saying that he has to maintain BRS).
Now i have to know that what is the best practice in sap whether i should create one more master data for the new Account or i should attach the new account with the existing Bank Master?
Please help it is urgent.I'll be waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Regards
Rajiv Kapur

Hi Rajiv,
Creation of new house bank will not serve purpose in better way, it is only required when there is a complext scenatio in check printing but that does not appear in your case.
So, create a new Bank Account in the existing House Bank, this will be included in Bank Reconciliation. Moreover, creation of Bank account instead of House Bank will also ease some maintainance in Bank Reconciliation statement configuration.

Change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system

Dear All,
I need to change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system.
Anyone an idea?
Kind regards,
Marilia

Welcome to SDN.
There are SAP Notes 933024, 804057 and 592239 that provide a means of opening UCWB only for master data objects.
Another possible work around is to make the updates in BW and use the synchronization programs UGMDSYNC and UGMDSY20. However for FS Items and Cons Groups all of the master data elements such as breakdown category and period of first consolidation are not available for entry in BW so for these characteristics the maintenance must still be completed in UCWB.

Changing vendor reconciliation account

Hi Experts
There are around 1500 vendors for whom we entered wrong reconciliation account. There would be around 20000 line items (uploaded line items, open line items and cleared line items).
Now I want to know what would be the best practice for correcting mistake.
1. Do we need to create new vendor master and transfer balances to new balances to vendor master using LSMW program
2. Do we need to change reconciliation account and run F101 every month end for next 8-10months unless all opening balance is knocked off.
Please let me know impact of above two options considering volume and reporting.
Meenu

If option 2 is acceptable to business, then I would suggest to go with second option, SAP allows to modify Reconciliation account with respective configuration change at master data setup. However, I am not sure, how system would react in following situation, please do a POC for same:
After recon account is changed from 1000 to 1001 at respective vendor master record, and you are processing a payment for against open item, which was recorded with 1000 recon account. In this case, just double check, whether system is able bring open items for clearing and also check it is adjusting against 1000 recon account.
Best regards

Vendor Reconciliation account change for specific vendor

Hi All,
Client want to change the Reconciliation account in the Vendor Master but same reconciliation account assign to multiple vendor master but client want to change specific vendor not for all vendor . The vendor has postings to it right now. We want that all the existing postings should be transferred to the new recon account line item wise and the new postings will go to the new recon account.
Please suggest some approach so that this can be effected.
Regards,
Dev

Hi Debabrata ,
To clear the reconciliation Account one option is that you create a new open item managed GL Account and use Transaction FB05 to clear each open item in the Vendor Account one at a Time and post on the new open item clearing Account. Then change the reconciliation Account in the master data and then again use FB05 to post the transactions back on the Vendor Account one at a time,
As far as impact on Balance sheet is concerned, there should not be an impact except that the balance will be reflected in a different GL Account.
Thanks
Muthu

Vendor Reconciliation account change

Hi All,
We want to change the Reconciliation account in the Vendor Master. The vendor has postings to it right now. We want that all the existing postings should be transferred to the new recon account line item wise and the new postings will go to the new recon account.
I can confirm that transaction F101 (and its customizing settings) does not work in such a case.
Please suggest some approach so that this can be effected.
Regards,
Aditya

F101 is not a program to transfer from old recon account to new recon account.
This is only a year end program as described clearly in the below mentioned document.
This program performs any adjustment postings required due to changes to the reconciliation accounts or G/L accounts. The items from the old reconciliation accounts are assigned to the new accounts. Since you cannot post to the reconciliation accounts directly, the postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts (see the following figure,(3)). These adjustment accounts should be displayed in the balance sheet with the relevant reconciliation account. The postings are then reversed after the financial statements have been created (see the following figure, (4)).

Vendor reconciliation account

Hello SAP gurus,
As we have t.code OAMK where all the reconciliation settings for Asset accounting are maintained and if you want to post to a reconciliation account which is not asset master then we can give option as 'off' for reconciliation account and give the a/c number which you would like to use.
Similarly is there any t.code for Vendor reconciliation settings.
For example, I have specified XXXX a/c as the reconciliation a/c for Vendor Y. but I want to use different reconciliation a/c at the time of posting for certain transactions. Is it possible if so how?
Thanks for your help

hi
you can use a special GL indicator to post to a different account. for example, when you want to post a downpayment, using special GL indicator A, the vendor downpayment account is used instead of the reconciliation account defined on vendor master data!
you can also set the falg "reconciliation account can be changed" on the GL account, so you can manually change the GL account during the posting (in FI only, as far as I remember)
i hope it helps

Vendor reconciliation account - general vendor to vendor of assets

Hi,
I have created a vendor that can be either vendor of services and vendor of assets, therefore I have only one reconciliation account (operationnel reconciliation account).
At the end of the month, how is it possible to make the reconciliation change automatically into a vendor of assets? I have ticked the box in the invoice saying that the purchase is an investment.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Ronan

Hi Ronan,
I think that the Special G/L Indicator will be useful for your purpose, you will post FI-AP document with GL Account maintened in the Vendor master data (FD03) and post FI-AA document by using Special G/L Indicator.
So if you'll choose this solution, you'll have to create a new Special G/L Indicator (e.g : ' A ') and assign the appropriate account to this indicator (Tcode : OBXT).
Create a substitution (Tcode : GGB1) can be another solution.
Regards.
