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.
<b>Which means it still should be possible to change</b>
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)."

Customer recon 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

Here is the official SAP help on the subject:-
Hello,
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. 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.
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.

Here select the account group for the customer and double click on the line. In this screen, double click on Company code data.

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.

Change of reconciliation account in vendor master

Dear Friends,
Can anybody tell whether we can change a reconciliation account in vendor master or not.
If we can change then what is the procedure of changing.
Regards
Rahul Jain

Hello,
You can change the recon account for a vendor/customer by transaction code XK02/XD02. The original transactions remain in the original recon account. After reconciliation change in customer/vendor will be posted to new reconciliation accounts and whatever old line items in the vendor/customer accounts will not change from old reconciliation accounts. If once cleared, manually you have to clear those open items from old reconciliations before shifting to new reconciliation accounts.
Thanks

Changing the recon account

hi,
i have an issue like to change the recon account in goods receipt transaction. right now the vendor is having (x for domestic )recon account and now he is purchasing the capital goods from the same vendor and in the system there is another recon account (Y for capital goods)
so right now we want the goods receipt transaction to capital goods recon account
please let me know the procedure

Dear Alapati Srinivas,
You need to customize "Posting with alternative reconciliation account".
The SPRO path is: Financial Accounting-> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable-> Business Transactions-> Postings with Alternative Reconciliation Account-> Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts (or T-Code S_ALR_87002480).
In there you have to define account Y as alternative reconciliation account for X.
Also in both X and Y master records you need to flag "Recon. acct ready for input" check- box in the "Create/bank/interest" tab.
After that when you try to post incoming invoice the system will allow you to choose between X and Y as reconciliation account.
Regards,
Milen.

Customs Allocation Account and Customs Expense Account

Hi All,
Can any one tell me what is the use of Customs allocation Account and Customs Expense Account.
When and where these accounts will be used.
If possible provide with examples of journal entry.
Regards
Shashi

Hi,
Custom allocation iaccount are used with the landed cost.
It's defined in Setup > Inventory > Custom Group. You will have to define both the Custom allocation account and the Custom Expense account. On the Item Master Data, the custom group is found on the Purchasing tab.
In Purchasing/AP > Landed cost, if the field Custom Affects Inventory is checked then your custom allocation account will be credited and the inventory account will be debited (inventory value goes up).
If the field Custom Affects Inventory is unchecked, the custom allocation account will still be credited but the custom expense account will be debited instead.
Hope this help

Cannot change recon. account in customer master

hi,
after i create customer master, i want to change recon. account, but cannot , this field display only. Anything i missing? thanks

Dear jo jo
Just go to XD02, enter the customer code and choose "Company Code Data". Now in "Account management" tab, you can change the said field as you wish.
Incidentally, why are you changing this?? Normally, this is linked with customer account group like exports, domestic etc. and hence, b4 making any changes, check with your FI people.
Thanks

Link Recon account to customer account group

hi guys,
Where do we link a reconciliation account to the customer account group?
thanks
srik.

We do not link recon account to the customer account grp.
account group controls
1) the interval for the account numbers
2) whether the number is assigned internally by the system or externally by the user (type of number assignment)
3) whether it is a one-time account
4) which fields are ready for input or must be filled when creating and changing master records (field status) we control the field of recon account from the account group.
we will assign the recon acc when creating a customer master data so that
(When you post to a customer account, the system automatically makes a corresponding posting to the appropriate reconciliation account in the general ledger. This means that it is no longer necessary to transfer the figures from the sub ledger accounts to the general ledger before creating the balance sheet.)

Clearing of customer recon account

Gurus please help
We are having debtors recon account (GL) that is having a balance. All the debtors that were linked to this control account had been cleared, but somehow a balance remain on this account.
To change this account its balance should be zero. Now I can not post directly to this account, If I link a debtor to it than the problem pops up again when clearing the debtor account.
How should I go about clearing a control (Recon) account, without posting to a debtor?
Thanks

1. To: Paul Annotee
I want to change the message control (OAB5), but message I now getting is that the message is not allowed to be changed (message: F5354)
2. To: Morgan
If I create a credit memo, this will automatic post to the Debtors book and I don't want to post to the debtor, but only clearing the GL (control/recon account)
3. To: Siva
I only want to clear this account, not creating a new one. This account will not be used any longer. Debtors linked to this control account are all in zero.
