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

Change Vendor Reconciliation Account

Hi SAP Gurus,
Can anyone tell me how the balance will be transferred from one reconciliation account to other recon account once the recon account is changed in vendor master.
I have tried OBBU, OBBW, F101 but that did not produce the desired outcome.
The clearing account only shows debit and credit for equal amts.
Could you pls help me transferring balances from one recon to other recon. Anybody knows it here?

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

Vendor - change of reconciliation account

Hello
I have search a read a lot of articles about this problem, but unfortuantely without success.
My problem is that some vendors shall be have another reconciliation account, so I have changed the account in vendor master data. I know that this have no influence on existing vendor items, but will it be possible to change the reconciliation account for existing records via F101. I mean that the old reconciliation account will balance to 0 and instead be listed under the new reconciliation account?
I have tried to execute F101, but without success. The records on the vendor account is still linked to the old rec account. Is it possible to do anything automatically?
Best regards

Hello Søren Kirch,
The below two stepped approach may let you solve the issue.
a) Change the Reconciliation Accounts either using the TCode XK07 or by the Function Module VENDOR_CHANGE_ACCOUNTGROUP in bulk
b) Transfer either the Open Items (Item by Item) or the Balances accumulated on the Old Recon Account to the New Recon Account using the Program SAPF101. Ofcourse, this might need a little bit of customizing in OBBW. (The Transaction Key 'A00' has to be configured to determine the Adjustment Account for the original recon account and also the Posting Keys)
Though I have not done this myself, I believe and wish that this will work for you.
With Regards

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

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.

Ravi

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)).

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.

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.

There is a need to change one employees Reconciliation account from 21100000 to 21101000, Kindly understand 21100000 is Vendor Reconciliation account and 21101000 is employee reconciliation account. By anychance my Client was using 21100000 in one employees master data, now I want to change it from 21100000 to 21101000.
In FK02/XK02 recon account field is greyed not allowing to change though there is no balance in Employees account
Please SAPGurus give me the complete process of doing this, the answers will be rewarded.
thanks

Dear SAP Consultant
If you want to change employee reconciliation account from vendor master data and it is shown grayed you can use transaction in SPRO -> Financial accounting->Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ->Vendor Accounts->Master Data -> Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data ->Define Screen Layout per Activity (Vendors)
And change the status of reconciliation account to be ready for input (Optional entry). then try to use fk02 or xk02 as you change in the previous screen.
I hope that will help you
Thanks

Change the Reconciliation account

Dear Friends,
Can we change Reconciliation accounts in Customer/Vendor 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?
Explain in details......
I appreciate your help.....

Hi Teja,
You can change the reconciliation Account in the Vendor or customer Master provided the field Status in your configuration allows changing the Reconciliation Account. Also, it is ideal that you change the reconciliation Account when the balance on the Reconciliation Account is Zero.
If the Balance is not zero, then also you can change the reconciliation Account. In such a case you need to maintain a Clearing Account in Configuration and then execute the Transaction F101 with the check box "Change Rec Account" under the Parameters TAB in the transaction F110.
This transaction will move the balance to the new reconciliation account,

Changing the Reconciliation Account to Regular (Non Reconciliation) GL

Hi there,
We are on SAP ECC6.0.
We need to change the Master Record of a Reconciliation Account by making it a Regular (that is NON Reconciliation) Account.
The system is allowing us in doing this in certain cases and in some we are given the Error as:
Modifications to reconciliation account not permitted
Error Message # FH110
We have already zero out the balance outstanding in all Vendors linked to this GL Account.
Thanks
Bob

Hello,
It is not the question of making the balance to zero. Though you might have brought the balance to ZERO, but still they are showing as open items only in your system. Until and unless they are cleared, you cannot change.
After posting number of entries in the system, now try to change the reconciliation account to non-reconciliation account will have its own disadvantages and may affect adversely on your reporting. It suggested not to make any further changes. Make a new reconciliation and assigned the same to new customers or vendors or change the reconciliation account in the customer or vendor masters.
Try to run F.5D
Please recheck your configuration in OBBW.
Regards,
Ravi
