FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP

Hi,
When I execute FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP as on current date, system is giving me an error:
Balance of 0L differs from account balance Message no. fagl_switch_op018
However, if I execute FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP on any date prior to the first posting, I do not get any error and open item management is activated for the GL account.
Please suggest.

Hi,
There are three options for your problem:-.
1) We have a program called RFSEPA02 which needs to be copied to
ZRFSEPA02 and follow the below steps
a) Create a Dummy or Temporary clearing account to move balance from
clearing accounts.
b) Move the balance from one GL account to Dummy account.
c) Block Clearing account for any postings.
d) Run ZRFSEPA02 ZRFSEPA02 and Execute by giving company code and GL
Account
e) Validate GL account Open Item Management check box and unblock
account for postings
f) Move balance from Dummy account to Clearing account .
g) Validate Clearing account and Dummy account balances.
h) Clear dummy account balance.
Note: SAP used this program up to SAP Version 4.7 but
after that stopped recommending it due to data inconsistencies like not
able to clear the
documents after the above steps. Please find the Note
175960 which has more details about this issue.
2) We have a program FAGL_SWITCH_TO_OPEN_ITEM which can be used to get
the open item activated for a GL Account but it will only work from SAP
Version ECC6.0 EP3. We need to upgrade our SAP system for this purpose
if we need to use this program.
3) Create a new GL Account, transfer all the Open items to this GL
Account and start using this account instead of old account. SAP
recommends this step(See Note 175960). Transfer of GL Accounts Line
Items can be done either manually or using LSMW

FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP issue

Hi,
I'm trying to make a GL account OI managed using FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP. However, in vain.
As per FAGLL03 - the GL account's balance being made zero in both the leading and non leading ledgers - there is an error message - Balance of ledger N1 differs from the account balance and Company code 1001 is not considered for the activation
Following are the messages which are displayed as well
Company code/ledger 1001/0L: balance 1,306.05 USD ( 2nd Local Currency Currency Type: 30 )
Company code/ledger 1001/N1: balance 1,306.05 USD ( 2nd Local Currency Currency Type: 30 )
Company code 1001: ledger N1, balance 35,610.00 CNY (from totals record table).
As per FAGLB03 of N1 - the cumulative balance of N1 is 35,610 CNY. I was just wondering what could be the reason for inconsistencies in data between FAGLL03 which shows Zero and FAGLB03 which shows 35,610 CNY. And is there a way that I could clear this.
Please suggest.

Soujanya.

Hello,
For Open Item Activation GL use SAP Note No u2013 606977 u2013 G/L accts : Change Open Item Management despite of postings
and if there is difference in Standard Reports
Run the t.code:FAGLF03 to get the list of documents not updated properly to the general ledger.
Once if you find any list, then take those documents and run the program "rgurecglflex" to get those document to be updated properly.
If found useful then assign points.

Enhanced Package 3 for FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP

Hello,
We need to activate FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP transaction. We are looking for SAP notes and the solution is install EHP3.
In EHP3 there are a lot of packages that we don't need. Anybody knows what support package do we need to update?
We thing FI module support packages? Which are they?
Thanks and Regards.

Hi Juan,
just map the Business Function you mentioned to a Technical Usage.
Based on this information Solution Manager - Maintenance Optimizer will do the rest.

Program.: FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP

Hi people,
We need to execute the program: FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP (about open item management of the account).
We don't have this program in our Client yet, could you tell me what the SAP note that apply that?
Thanks,
Rosana.

Hi Rosana,
FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP is available from ECC6.0 / Enhancement Package 3.
Under http://service.sap.com/instguides there is Enhancement Package 3
details, following this path:
Installation & Upgrade Guides
SAP Business Suite Applications
SAP ERP
SAP ERP 6.0
SAP enhancement packages for SAP ERP 6.0
Unfortunately it is available only by the EHP3 and it will not be
downported to earlier versions.
SAP recommends to set item management for an account in the standard
way as follows:
Create a new account with the correct account assignment. Post your
items to the new account. If you want to use the original account
number, you must bring the account balance to zero, change the account
assignment, and repost the items. You can remove the old items by
archiving the documents.
Customers are encouraged to follow the mentioned message in the popup
box to convert their account to OI mgt.
The recommend procedure is the efollwing:
Create new G/L account with Open item management indicator turned
ON via trans FS00. Transfer balance from old G/L account (open
item management OF) to new G/L account (open item management ON).
You can also refer to note 606977, if you want to set the open item
indicator in FS00, the balance of this account must be zero.
In the note 403744 there are 3 options offered.
Up to release 45A, there was a report RFSEPA02 to switch on open item
management. With this report you could set the flag open items
management for documents posted before the change in the master record.
However, this report is no longer supported as of release 45A as note
175960 describes. Nevertheless, you can get this functionality following
the steps described in this note. This is valid for your case as
you are on ECC 6.0.
I hope I could be of assistance.

FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP - More info

Hi,
We have implemented the EHP 3 and not activated New GL.
We want to convert a GL account in SD account determintaion to OI Management. The Account has huge data since 2002.
1. There is a "Switch on" field in the screen and help for this field says that this is the date of activation of the OI management account. Is it possible to have this date somewhere in the 01.01 2008. What will happen to the line items posted to this date?
2. As there will be continuous postings happening to this account, is it necessary to Block this account from posting as was with the earlier programme RFSEPA01?
Any body used this transaction successfully ,can you please share the experience?

Clearing GL with Open Item Management

Dear Experts.
A liability GL (Remuneration Gl account) has been created by the client in the system without open item management. After that several entries has been posted in that GL account. Few months back they have activated Open Item Management for that GL using a program.Now they want to clear few entries in that GL account and while clearing the GL in F-03 system is displaying an error
Document splitting: Items for clearing 1000/9300000661/2012/001 not found
Message no. GLT0002
Diagnosis
Document splitting cannot perform clearing because it was not possible to find complete splitting information on the items to be cleared (company code, document number, fiscal year, item).
System Response
Clearing cannot be performed and the document cannot be posted.
Procedure
Exclude the affected item from clearing.
It may be that this item was not posted with active document splitting. In this case, this item or document would have to be migrated.
This error occurs due to the Open Item Management activation in the GL after entries were posted.
Now the client wants to clear few entries in this GL account for which Open Item Management was activated recently. The client is not willing to create a new GL and post transfer entries. Is there any other possibility to clear this GL account.
Please provide your valuable suggestions.
Regards,
Ramprasath

Hi,
The reason for the error GLT0002 is that there is no values for
document in tables FAGL_SPLINFO and FAGL_SPLINFO_VAL
Regarding the clearing process in the FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP:
The clearing of the 'old' items is the standard process in the report.
Here is the part from the documentation:
(Please review the documentation on FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP via se38
enter in FAGL_SWITCH_TO_OPEN_ITEM view documentation)
The system then activates open item management and clears all existing
open items. After this clearing, you have the option of having the
system repost the amounts that were initially written off.
This is done to start newly with the OI management once it is activated.
So if you want to activate the OI management for an other account in
your system, please take into account that the clearing should NOT be
opened again in standard.
I would request you to please read the documentation in SE38 for FAGL_SWITCH_TO_OPEN_ITEM
and please check whether all criteria's are fulfilled or not.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Eugene

Managegement of Open Item after migration

Hello
I need a global brain storming to finish to write a specification about an update follow a migration and the management of open item.
Before, with the classic ledger we have the standard program RFSEPA02 to activate the open item management. Now we have to use the standard transaction FAGL_activate_OP.
But this standard transaction doesn't have the same effect.
In the past, SAP check wich item is cleared or not and manage the clearing for each item.
Now SAP balance the account by a global amount an it is all. We lost many information.
Our specific is to identify the line to manage (so we will read the index BSIS without clearing document) to do the step 1 to 3 of the program.
In the step 4, to write the original document agin in our ledgers or group of specific ledgers base on the historical document. So we keep all the detail, except, the account date will be new and the document type.
I would like to know if you do the same analysis about it ? if perhaps you create an other way to adapt the standard programm to do it ...
Thanks for your brain storming, I hope to create in a final a wiki about this point, but I need your help to define all the impact of it.
Thanks for your return
Philippe

Hi D.K
before runing the this program
1 ) make sure the balance of the amount for this account is zero.
2) block this account for further posting
3) run this program
4) unblock the account, then it will work

Subsequent activation of Open items

Hi, we are on version 6.0 but didn't activate New GL.
We have open items on our GR/IR account from 2000. Open item management is activated on this account since 2004. Hence there are line items on this accout which are not cleared between 2000 and 2004.
Now, I want to run a program which can reactivate open item management on line items posted in this period so that I can clear those items. As this a GR/iR account I cannot simply clear the balances on this account. So I tried running this in test system by creating a dummy account and making the balance zero.
However when I try running tcode: FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP I am getting error as "Company Code XXXX is not considered for activation". I couldn't find a clue what it meant by that and there is no other explanation.
Does anyone have any solution?
Thanks!

Hi,
Program RFSEPA02 is to activate OIM for a GL account and this SAP standard program which is not supported by SAP.
So, ask your ABAPer to copy this program to create a Z program.
Much customization is not required, just copy the program RFSEPA02 to ZRFSEPA02.
This program will help you to activate the OIM for a GL account at any point of time.

Activate open item management on G/L with existing line items

Hello all,
I have a G/L account with line items on it. I want to activate open item management now.
I can do that in several ways and have also managed to do it.
The EXISTING line items, however, do not have an open item status in the sense of "open" or "cleared". Instead, they show up with the green tick in front of the line. I would actually want the existing line items to be marked as "cleared" so they will disappear from the open item inquiry report.
I have found several SAP notes about this behaviour and know that SAP recommends to create a new account and then re-post. In this particular case, however, I have lots of reasons to keep the existing account.
My question is therefore if someone knows how to make the existing line items disappear from the open item inquiry. We are on SAP 4.6C and switching to ERP 6.0 so would be interested in both systems. By the way, I also found several info about FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP but this seems to be for the new G/L which we don't use.
Thanks in advance for any input.
René

I just saw this question now, if solution is still necessary you can read on
First: you can make an account open item only if the account has no balance. You mentioned there are postings on the account. If these postings make a zero balance all together (i. e. the debits and credits are equal):
1. change the master data
2. run program RFSEPA02 to change the existing items
3. clear the items
If the postings do not make zero, than you have to first make the account balance zero, carry out the above steps and reverse the posting mentioned previously.
The above works for 4.6x and ECC 6.0 systems as well.

FS10N balance not tie with FBl3N line item totals

Hi
I searched the forum for posting on FS10N and FBL3N incorrect balances and I did not any post appropriate for my issue. Hence I am posting my issue here.
For a particular month, say 072010, FS10N GL balance does not tie with FBL3N line item totals. I am not sure why. In our case, we did not archive any line items and this is not related to year end carry forward. Year beginning GL balances look fine. We dont have any negative postings. Only few GL balances are off. We are using 4.7 version.
Do you know why this inconsistency and how to rectify it? Is there any program which I run apart from Yead End carry forward?
any ideas really appreciated.
Thanks

Hello
We have already this trouble.
To correct it you need to proceed like this (when NewGL is not activate, with new Gl there is one new programm)
Without newGL
- Block account to be posted (transaction FS00 Block for posting in the company view)
- Delete open item, by using the programm RFSEPA03 (you need to adapt it by a copy because if you don't you can't run it), also this programm will unflag your account in the company view
- Delete line item by the standrd program RFSEPA04
- Create the line item by the standard program RFSEPA01
- if this account is managed by open item, run the programm RFSEPA02 (you need to do the same adjustement of the RFSEPA03)
With NewGL, there is something new. the program RFSEPA02 is linked with a new transaction and you don't have to adjust it FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP. The difference is when you create the open item, you have to define the default profit center and default value depending of the customizing of the leading ledger.

Philippe,
Thanks for the rewards.

Activate Open Item Management for a tax GL account

Hi experts
I have tried different options and explored forums but haven't been able to find the solution as yet.
I have some tax GL accounts (Tax Category field in their GL master is < or > i.e. Input or Output Tax Account). There have been postings to these accounts but these accounts are not open item managed. To perform clearing for these accounts, I need to activate OIM for which I'm trying FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP but the system gives me error"
"Not possible to determine tax indicator in company code xxxx
Company code xxxx is not considered for the activation"
When I further drilldown the error, i find the following information:
Diagnosis
Postings to the selected account require a tax code. On the basis of the company code data (T001), the system tried to determine a tax code for zero tax. However, there is no such tax code stored for the company code.
Procedure
Specify the tax code for zero tax in the company code. You do this in Customizing for Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) under Assign Tax Codes for Non-Taxable Transactions.
I have checked settings in OBCL for Non-Taxable Transactions and found that I0 and O0 are maintained for Input and Output tax (also tax jurisdiction). In Table T001 I also find these entries so these seem to be complete.
Can somebody please help me sorting out this issue.
Many thanks!

Hi,
Some G/L accounts cannot be managed on an open item basis,
specially G/L accounts that are used in account determination for
automatic transactions (ie: accounts set up as bank accounts, Tax
accounts, raw material accounts, reconciliation accounts, profit and
loss accounts).
It is the standard design of the FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP that there is no
conversion of a tax account to open item management.
Processes as the posting of the sales/purchases tax payable do not
process any clearing transactions therefore the open item management is
not necessary. Clearings must really never be posted to an input VAT or
output vat tax account, otherwise it would prevent subsequent processes
on the actual open items (Customer or vendor). The only tax account on
which the open item management should be possible is the G/L account of
the deferred tax.
Hope my information was helpful for you.
Regards,
Cristiano

Open item mgmt activated for A/C with old program instead of new in NEW GL

Our version is ECC6.0 (EHP3) and activate NewGL, the open item management parameter for the account was forgot choosing during go live, Now the account have actual posting ,we can't tick open item management parameter directly. so we run these programs are ZFSEPA02 and ZFSEPA03.
the program run successfully and activated the Open Item mgnt but now this is giving error "document splitting error; no open items to processXXXX/XXXXXXXXX/XXXX", because these programs only for below ECC6.0, unfortunately couldnt run the new program which is suitable with NEW GL(ECC6.0)
checked even with FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP and OSS 175960 but there are other threads which are not suggesting this.
Please, valuable suggestions are needed, I know there are many threads which spoke about this but not in this same case.
hoping to solve this issue with great ideas from all SAP gurus.
awaiting for your reply

Hi again Milind Sonalkar,
the note you specified (1309427) tells :-
"Solution
Use the log (transaction SLG1, object FAGL, subobject OPENITEM) to find the clearings specific to ledger groups. Use these documents as templates to manually make the return postings using transaction FBB1. If you require help with regard to the manual return posting, contact SAP Support and refer to this note."
with this I understand that for the account, the program(trns FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP) executed is not able to post to rest of ledgers except the leading ledger and need to post by manually in FBB1? what is return postings in the note?
for more information for the account used is a balance sheet account and has open items after execution of old program "Z"RFSEPA02. so while trying to clear them by F-03 it sends the above(in 1st port) mentioned error. Here I understand that first need to post(clear) manually to those open items which are posted before marking OI. am I right?, please enlighten me.

OPEN LINE ITEM not activated in GL

If you are in ECC 6.00 you need to use T.Code FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP provided you are in EHP3 is used to Activate Open line item.
Does anybody have an idea if We are In ECC 6.00 , EHP2 What is the procedure to Activate Open Line item in GL.
Please let me know the detail process

Hi,
If your query which i understood is correct, you want to activate an existing GL account for Open Item Management for which already there were some transactions happened and there is a balance.
With a balance in the GL its not recommended to switch on open item management. You can transfer the balance to a temporary account, make the GL to 0 and then you can change.
Thanks,
Krish.

Open Item Management changed retrospectively

We currently have a series of GL account set up in our production environment which do not have the Open Item Management ticked. As there are currently posted open items and the account balance is not zero we cannot change the flag retrospectively.
Rather than creating new GL Accounts, is there a way we can move the GL docs to a 'dummy' GL account, alter the required GL, then re-apply the docs to the original account (and delete the dummy)?
The change in the flag could cause an issue with re-applying the docs and we're not particularly keen on the idea of changing the info on the GL Docs. Any ideas how we could resolve this?
Thank you

Hi Nicola,
If you are ECC - =>EHP3 SAP Standared provided T.Code for activating open items for already posted entries.
T.Code: FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP
Program: FAGL_SWITCH_TO_OPEN_ITEM
Pleasse Let me know still you have any issue on it.
