FI Document - Open Items

Hi All,
While trying to archive the FI Documents present in our system, a huge percentage of them are not getting archived inspite of meeting the retention/residence time requirements.
The spool says these docs have open line items.
My query is: how do we identify what is the open line item and how can we close it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Janani

We encountered this issue. This is how we dealt with it:
1) Identify all open-item managed accounts
2) Check which accounts have automatic clearing through SE16 BSIS table
3) DISCUSS and AGREE WITH THE FINANCE TEAM which of these accounts need to be open-item managed. Those that do not have to be OIM can be changed in MASS transaction
4) Block the accounts that need to be changed to non-OIM
5) Run a COPY of RFSEPA03 (of course you have to do testing first). This program changes the status to non-OIM in the master data and line item tables. You have to do this for each combination of company code and GL account. If you have a lot of combinations, I suggest creating an ABAP program to "loop" the program. The combinations can be read from a flat file. Run-time depends on the number of line items that need to be changed
6) Test the accounts for archive eligibility
7) Unblock the accounts if everything is ok
This is safer than clearing. As someone mentioned earlier, you have to be careful with clearing. The same with resetting clearing.
Also, changing an account to set OIM active is very complicated. It involves reloading archived data and could result in huge problems later on. Your totals may not match with line items. This can be accomplished through a copy of RFSEPA02. SAP suggests that you create a new account instead. Knowing this, you MUST be certain that the accounts you change to non-OIM remain OIM.
Hope this helps.... please give me points if it is!

Clearings of open items in FB05

Hi,
I am using the function module posting_interface_clearing to post & clear the open items.
Here the requirement is we need to clear the open items from two different customer accounts against a single bank account.
For example the amount of 1000 EUR from the Bank A/C 41234 is cleared against two different customer accounts say 123 & 413. First of all how should we populate the ft_clear structure so that the clearing has to happen against two different customer accounts. The FB05 transaction is used. Can anyone help ?? I have searched the forum & tried a lot of combinations but its not working...Need some help
*The user will have a report from which the user can select any no. of open items and all those open items which can be from different or same customer accounts needs to cleared against an incoming amount of a single Bank Account *. Can posting_interface_clearing Function Module handle this kind of Scenario & if the answer is YES, then HOW. ?

Hi Ravi,
I will update question once I get the update from the functional team. I am sharing what I know currently....
Do you mean fields which may be filled with same information for different documents?
ZUONR will be different for every docuemnt
XBLNR may be the same sometimes
What I uderstood is its a case of semi-automatic clearing... The amount from the incoming bank account needs to cleared against multiple documents (open items) that may be belong to different customer accounts. How can we do it using the POSTING_INTERFACE_CLEARING ??

Closed SO shown in Open Item List

Hi experts,
Unfortunately, the below problem (mentioned in Note 948670) occurred in my client's database.
My question is --> In order to hide this kind of CLOSED sales orders in the Open Item List, can I just change RDR6.status from "O" to "C" ?
Note 948670 :
****Closed documents shown in Open Item List - XXX6 table****
Symptom
There are cases where the document is closed, but the sixth table of the document is still open.
As a result the document is shown in the Open Item List.
Other terms
Open document, open item list, 6 table, sixth table, SAP Business One
Reason and Prerequisites
Solution
In order to track these documents the following query should be run on the database:
USE *DEST*
-- change DEST to the name of customer's DB.
declare @doc varchar(3),@fld varchar(10)
Put document----
-- enter here the name of the table acording to the list below.
Set @doc = 'rdr'
Set @fld = CASE
WHEN @doc = 'pdn' THEN 'opencreqty'
ELSE 'openqty'
END
exec ('
SELECT T0.DocNum, T0.DocEntry, T0.DocStatus as ''DocStatus'', T1.Status AS ''Doc6Status''
FROM O' + @doc + ' T0 INNER JOIN ' + @doc + '6 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
Where T0.DocStatus = ''C'' AND T1.Status = ''O''
AND NOT EXISTS
(SELECT 1 FROM ' + @doc + '1 T2 WHERE T0.DocEntry = T2.DocEntry AND
(T2.' + @fld + ' <> 0 OR T2.LineStatus <> ''C''))
You should run the query above on the following tables (documents):
Rdr - in order to track Sales Order that remained open,
Dln - in order to track Deliveries that remained open,
Rdn - in order to Returns that remained open,
Por - in order to track Purchase Order that remained open,
Pdn - in order to track Good Receipt PO that remained open,
Rpd - in order to track Good Returns that remained open.
If you get results after running the select query, please contact your Support Center

hi,
If u update status from open to close directly in db you will lose support,
Raise support ticket as per note in service market place.

Possible to clear vendor open item against already posted payment document?

Hi
Can you advise if it is possible to clear an open item against already posted payment/clearing doc? Here is the background to the scenario:
An invoice was posted with transaction FB60. This was subsequently picked up in the payment run F110 and cleared by payment document number 200005678. The item went to the bank on the paymnet file and was paid out to the vendor. The transaction reference, which appeared on the incoming bank statemnet was the payment document number 200005678.
Subsequently it was discovered that the original invoice should have been posted with reference to a PO using MIRO. The requirement now is to reverse the paymnet documnet 200005678 in SAP, then reverse the document that was posted using FB60. After this the invoice will be posted using MIRO. This will create an open item on the vendor account.
This item will not be piad out again. Therefore the requirement is to try clear that open item against the previously posted payment document 200005678.
Is there any way to clear this vendor open item against the originally posted payment document 200005678?? Or any other advice on how this scenario can be handled in SAP?
Thank for your help.
Mike

Hi,
I tried that option in our test system. I ran FBRA and entered Paymnet Documnet Number (+Clearing Doc Number), Company Code, Fiscal Year.
Then chose menu option Clearing -> Reset Cleared Items.
The system pops up a window asking for a reversal reason and reversal date. I use 01 and posting date of today.
The system now posts another cleared document. That document places the invoice as an open item on the vendor account. It does not place the Payment Document as an open item on the account.
When I go to F-44 only the open vendor invoice is showing there. There is no open paymnet document.
Is there perhaps some configuration setting that stops the placement of the paymnet document as an open item when reset?
Thanks for your help again.

Reset Cleared Documents and Vendor Open Items Report FBL1N

Hi all,
I have following scenario:
- In last month, we had 2 documents (invoice and payment) cleared against each other. We created open items report as well as open items correspondence sent to Vendor. Obviously, the docs were not included in report.
- In this month, we have reset and reverse clearing document of the documents. We create report again with the open key date as in last month. It should not include the 2 docs but it did with whichever key date we chose.
Is there any setting that open item report doesn't include cleared item at the key date when we run report for previous month?
Thanks and Regards,
Dau

Hi Dau,
If i understand you correctly then you posted and paid invoice in Jan 2012 and generated the open line item report for Jan which correctly did not include this cleared invoice.
Now in Feb 2012 you reset and reversed this payment document.
The issue is when you execute the report FBL1N again then you get the open line item for this invoice correct. Please confirm what is the open item key date that you are using here for generating this report
If you keep it 31.01.2012 then definetly this invoice should not appear in the report but if you keep that 29.12.2012 then this line item would for sure appear.
The importance of key date is to limit the report to certain date. The system selects all items posted up to and including the specified key date and open for this period.
so I think your issue is with the key date.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Prasad

Vendor open items appearing in FBl1 but same documents not appearing F-44.

Hi,
Vendor open items appearing in FBl1 but same documents not appearing F-44.
Please help me in this.
Thanks
GP

Hi,
F-44 is used for clearing vendor - header data. Check if there are both debit and credit entries for the vendor and if it exists then clear using F-44. Check the entries correctly in FBL1.

Open Items List contains closed Document

Hi guys,
Hope you can assist? I have a client with a issue on the Open Items List, whenever she opens the report for A/P Down Payments - Not Yet Fully Applied and A/R Down Payments - Not Yet Fully Applied it brings up a list of Documents but when you view the document the status is Closed. Some of these transactions are dated back to 2005.
Have any of you seen this before?

Trading Partner for open item document prior to BCS implementation

Dear Experts,
We have just introduced BCS in our company currently. One of the difficulties the user are facing is that the open item (many of them - thousand open item with different currencies and exhange rate) prior to the introduction of BCS does not contain Trading Partner. This ended up that the adjustment on the Trading Partner has to be done in BCS regularly. The amount in value of adjustment is not fixed - since there could be subsequent payment that will clear the open item.
I understand that TP cannot be changed once posted. Have read a lot in the SAP portal and forum.
Question: Based on your experience, it there a way that I can overcome this problem? Could SAP somehow allow TP to be assigned to open item document prior to implementation of BCS?
I hope I can get some answer, otherwise, our user has to diligently continue to put the adjustment until all the open items are cleared.
Thank you.
Regards
Fauzi

hi,
Check whether the document type you are using to post is allowed to enter the trading partner.
To check use the TCODe OBA7 and select the relevent document type. then select the check box enter trading partner under control data.
and also check the customer you assigned for that posting key 01 is got assigned trading partner in the master record or not(TCOD XD02/XD03).
thanks.

Cheque printed but fi document not created (line item shows as open item)

Hi,
Problem Description :
F110
In payment run Posting order is not matching it shows 11 generated and 10 completed .
Due to this, document number 5100316279( i.e open item) was not cleared but generated a cheque 809635 for 58.75
The same document number 5100316279got cleared on 01.07.2008 ; payment run and generated another cheque 809643 for same amount 58.75
To summarize due to a system error we ended in a double payment to the vendor.
Request you help us to solve this issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
The reason why you have more documents generated than completed is that update terminations on the executing the payment run.It means some documents were not posted in the data base. You could find the terminated update via using SM13.
Here is some information saying what you have to do when this happens:
You need to analyse the update record data to decide what has to be done with the update records. In order to analyse the record data, use transaction SM13 for terminated updates. By double-clicking on the terminated update records, the updates modules are displayed. By double-clicking on the function module 'POST_DOCUMENT' with error status you can see in whick line item the clearing has failed. Please use
'Goto => Display data'. In table T_BKPF and T_BSEG are the data of the entered document. Important are CPU-Date (T_BKPF-CPUDT) and Time (T_BKPF-CPUTM). In table T_AUSZ1 is the the information which line item
(BELNR, BUKRS, GJAHR, BUZEI) should be cleared with this update record.
Afterwards, execute FB03 for this document and determine the clearing document BSEG-AUGBL for this line item. Analysing this clearing document with data of the terminated update records you have to decide what has to be done with this update record.
For repeating the update task it is necessary that the clearing of the Open item is reset with transaction FBRA. Without resetting the other Clearing you will always get error F1 805 in the function module 'POST_DOCUMENT'.
So can you please analyse the data concerning the update termination. Depending on the investigation, you have to decide, whether the data has to be re-entered or whether the update task can be deleted or whether the clearing has to be reset and the task has to be repeated.
With regards,
V.Krishnamoorthy

Down Payment Clearing Document shows as open item

Hi,
I made an Down Payment Request (f-47) for $ 1000; made a Down Payment on that request (f110) for $1000; posted an invoice (fb60) with $ 1000; cleared the down payment and invoice (f-54) for $1000.
Now in vendor open item s(fbl1n), both invoice (KR) and the clearing document (KA) are shown, while in cleared items, the down payment request (KA), down payment (KZ) and the clearing document (KA) are shown.
My questions:
1) Why the invoice and the clearing document are shown as open items?
2) Why the clearing document is shown as both open item and cleared item?
Thanks in advance

Dear,
Do not worry this is standard behavoiur by the system..see the below flow...
1. Create down payment request - F-47. (Open)
2. Create downpayment from the request F-48. (Down payment is open)
3. Clear downpayment F-54. (Invoice and payment are open in normal items and Downpayment and requests are cleared. So downpayment came to normal items.
You will need to clear these items manually...

Customer Open Items Document Details

I am building an application for a client for Purchase Card Processing using Visual Studio 2005. I am able to use VS 2003 to create the necessary object to get the Customer List, Customer Details, and the list of Customer Open Items.
I am totally new to SAP, and need some help to figure out my next steps.
1. What call(s) will return an Open Item (Document) given the Document Number, along with the individual line items. With that info I can post a Level 3 transaction and get an authorization code.
2. What is the process to post the purchase card authorization, essentially a payment, back to SAP for the open item.
3. What is the best source for reference details on BAPI?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thanks for the response, but I have already madie it that far... " I am able to use VS 2003 to create the necessary object to get the Customer List, Customer Details, and the list of Customer Open Items.
with the list of open items, I get a Bill_Doc. What calls will return the details of the Billing Document?

Open items yet to be cleared which have 2-3 years old document date

Sap Experts,
This is my first post and would like to ask for a help .
I would like to clear all the open items which have Zero balance and belongs to Fiscal year 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.
In F-04 T.code, When I put the document date, it does not allow me to clear it.
Please give me the best solution you think of any other alternative which is right or please provide me with steps to clear by using F-04
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
LSD

Thanks Atif & Sanil for your quick reply,
But the problem is when I enter the GL account, it is giving me error, stating that "there are no open items managed in Account XXXXXXXXXX". I have checked the control data in FS00 and only Line item Display is ticked.
I have recently joined this place, and the items are open from the day SAP was implemented. So they do not use Auto clearing.
Some points I am thinking below,
Q1. Does it mean that the control data must have open item to be "ticked"?
Q2. The A/c i am trying to clear is Non-current Trade receivables, so can we clear such accounts.
In terms of Clearing the data from 2007 till date,
Q3. Do I have to open the old periods or can I clear in current period.
Further info will be very helpful.
Cheers

Clearing open items on reversal of documents

Dear All,
As we all know that raising Invoices through F-43 & F-22 in FI creates open items for vendors & customers respectively. Reversing these documents/invoices in FB08 will clear these open items. However, reversing invoices raised from SD/MM does not clear the open items. These invoices are getting reversed from respective modules. ie. entries are getting reversed, but items are not getting cleared. Consequently, these items also appear with positive & negative signs in Incoming & outgoing payments (F-53 & F-28) in "process open items".
Pl. let me know how the open items can be cleared on reversal of said invoices as it is done in FI (as mentioned above).
Thanks & regards,
Raja

Hi
In GL, AR, AP individual expenses documents we can clear by using reversal documents. But, Integration b/w FI, SD,MM documents it will generate automatically and it will clear based on the payment terms.

Document split for previous year open item

Dear All,
We have upgraded from 4.6 to ecc 6.0 .I have a problem of document splitting .
Suppose there is open item of previous year i.e vendor and after 1.4.09 the liability is transferred to another vendor the system gives me error that' profit center field in line item 001 is not filled' which seems correct as open item before 1.4.2009 does not have profit center.If the same liability is paid through bank than bank a/c is maintained in 3kei and document gets posted.
Also when salary is paid ,some salary is deducted for paying lic premium so salary payable account is credited on 31.3.09 and after 1.4.09 the same a/c is debited and credit is given to LIC OF INDIA.
Both payable a/c and lic of india are balance sheet items and system gives me error while posting the documents.
If the same transactions are after 1.4.09 the system inherits prctr from previous transactions but since in above examples there is no prctr in previous documents the system throws error message
'profit center field in line item 001 is not filled' .
Kindly provide me suggestions
Thanks and regards
vijay

Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
Yes we have migrated on 1.4.2009 and test migration have been performed .
But my client is to close books of accounts so it is having the said requirement of vendor to vendor transffer,kindly suggest me other alternative
