Changing a G/L account code from B/S item to P/L item

Hi Experts,
I created a G/L account code as a Profit & Loss item. After that some document transactions were posted in that G/L Account code.
Later, I realized that that G/L account should have been a Balance Sheet item. So, when in FS00, I tried to change the radio button from P/L item to B/S item for the above stated G/L account code, it is not allowing because there are transactions / records in that G/L account code.
What should I do to convert that G/L account code from P/L item to B/S item. Please guide.
I will definitely award points to everybody who answers.
Thanks & Regards
Rajeev Sharma

Hi Rajeev,
It is a big thing to change a GL account from BS to P&L.
First tip is, if you can avoid it please do, by this I mean, block the account and create a new GL account.
Please review your account groups, you normally group similar accounts in the same number ranges and I would recommend that a single account group is only BS or P&L.
The fact you have posted items to the GL account is the biggest problem.
You need to have the account with a zero balance, this will mean either reversing the documents you posted or creating a journal to zero the account and then clear if possible all of the line items.
You also need to consider the impact it has made on the documents you have created, especially if a period is closed.
I think it is possible to change if there are no open items, but I would contact SAP via OSS to get the answer.
Please publish the answer back on the forum.

    Hi
    What Implications that may have applied reset to a company code that has been productive and has therefore are posted from FI, CO, MM, SD, PM, PP and WM.  (Reset Transaction: OBR1 for Delete Company Code Data)
    It is important to point out that the company began to operate with the modules MM, SD, PM, WM and PP without considering its effects on FI and CO and therefore the data that is in financial accounting and cost is not to relevate for the company. This is to be done with the intention to start with a new Plan of Accounts for this company code.
    thanks for the help they can give me!!!!!!

    How do I change my iPad iTunes account & content from an old computer (XP) to a new computer 8.1

    Hi RyanQuilty,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first step on your new computer is to install the latest version of iTunes:

    Before connecting your iPad to the new computer, I would suggest backing it up to iCloud, and changing your sync settings to "manual" on the new computer:

    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch inSettings > iCloud > Backup & Storage,
    You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

  • How can you change all of the control codes from one  number to another?

    I'm trying to use CC11 for Dynamic Expression Control, rather than just runing the volume CC7 all the time. My problem is that I would like to do a large select of say all CC codes that are 7 and move them to be 11 rather than do it one event at a time. Is there a technique for this?

    The Samplecontruct's recommendation is right and probably conformable if you want to process one or a few midi region(s) containing CC7.
    In addition, if have multiple midi regions on a track and want to process in one step then the Transform window is recommended. I.e you select that track (which will select all regions), open the Transform and create the custom template I show in the pic below). Hit the "Select and Operate" (4) button which will select the matching contend (CC7) internally of the track selected regions and operate in one step. This saves time if you must select 50-60 regions and change their CC# using the Event list technique for instance.

  • Change Existing Chart of Account

    Dear Experts,
    We are planning to change Existing Chart of Account with new COA and Cost Center Hierarchy, We have FICO, MM, HCM, SD and PM, our fiscal year is from June to July currently we have four company codes and one business area all company codes have one COA and Controlling Area kindly advice what measure should we take.
    Moderator: Please, search SDN

    Hi,
    Changing the Chart of Accounts code along with all General Ledger Accounts leads to complete re-implimentation of sap.
    There will be lot of integration points will need to be changed with all the modules like SD, MM, PP and Controllling. Extensive testing of all business processes is needed.
    Definitely it will take lot of time and effor from alll the module and may not be explained in sentences here.

  • Formating account codes

    Hi,
    I am filling a combo box with valid values that include the account codes from the chart of accounts table (OACT).  The FormatCode is the field I am showing but it is not formatted in the table.  I would like to format it based on the account segment separator in table OADM and the segmentation specifications in table OASG.  Before I take the trouble to write the code to do this, I was wondering if SAP B1 had an object that formats the account code for you given the specifications in these two tables.
    The Chart of Accounts object doesn't have a method for this.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    The following query should give you the full account, properly segmented:
    select
         Segment_0 + isnull( '-' + Segment_1, '') + isnull('-' + Segment_2, '')
         + isnull( '-' + Segment_3, '') + isnull('-' + Segment_4, '')
         + isnull( '-' + Segment_5, '') + isnull('-' + Segment_6, '')
         + isnull( '-' + Segment_7, '') + isnull('-' + Segment_8, '')
         + isnull( '-' + Segment_9, '')
         as Account
    from
         OACT
    Would that work for you?
    Kind Regards,

  • Changing GL Code for "Clring Account Revenue from Asst Sale" (TCode: AO90)

    Dear Experts,
    We have a requirement to change "Clearing Account Revenue from Asset Sale" from currently used GL Account (Eg; 22840020) with another GL account (Eg; 22840022).  Both these GL Accounts are Balance Sheet Accounts. We have created required GL Account in desired conpany codes.
    When we try to change respective GL Account in T-Code: AO90 (Balance Sheet Accounts) we get below message with green colour message type:
    "Account "22840022" not allowed to be Balance sheet account"
    "Account "22840019" not defined as P22840019L account"
    (There are no red colour message type)
    Please help. Should we go ahead with the change? Will there be any risk involved in doing so? Is there any other prereqisite to be followed?
    - Nilesh

    Dear Atif,
    Thanks A lot for explanation.
    Though fundamentaly it is right what you are saying, Our Client is using Balance Sheet Account 22840020 since many years as "Revenue from Asset Sale Clearing Account". Now they want to replace this GL Code with 22840022 (Balance Sheet Account). With previous GL Code there were no problems. And message given by system is relevant to what you are saying, but it is not an error message.
    What I understand is, they are sufficing their requirement with Balance sheet account. So after replacing GL Code with B/S account there should not be any problem.
    They do the retirement without customer and sale is not on credit basis also.
    Please suggest for more clarity.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • I had to change my password to get into my iTunes account. I had $11.11 remaining on a card I had. I no longer have that card but it wants the code from the card. Now what?

    I had to change my password to get into my iTunes account. I had $11.11 remaining on a card I had. I no longer have that card but it wants the code from the card. Now what?

    First, please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The only people who will reply to your posts are we your fellow users. iTunes Support will never respond to posts made here.
    As to your issue, confirm with your bank that they do not block access from on-line services or otherwise have restrictions on with whom a card can be used. For some company cards, such blocks can be set up. If you confirm that no such restrictions are in place, post back and we'll go from there.

  • Account mapping from Target account to Source accounting code

    Hello Friends,
    We are working on 10 different Opco's/Entities and 5 of them have a single Chart of Accounts. Every time we map the source account codes to Target account codes we do this for every entity.
    Can you please help me to find an option through which by updating mapping in one OPCO/Entity I can update automatically all 6 opcos/Entities mapping similarly in all Opcos/Entities
    Thanks..

    Thanks SH, now it is really working fine.
    I have changed  Parent Locations to all of the 5 locations to one of the locations.
    If I update mapping in anyone of the location, mapping in other locations are also changing.
    I have two questions:
    1) Will this effect uploading of data?
    2) Say for example i have 5 locations A,B,C,D & E and I have chosen A parent location as NONE,  B to A, C to A & D to A.
    If I make any changes in any one of the location this will reflect in all other locations but if in the same case I want changes only in C (after selecting A as parent location) and not in any other location can I have any control over it. Its like any changes from A reflect to B,C,D but not from C to A.
    Thanks..

  • I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have.  To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
    Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them).  You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another.  You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.
