GL Account Change to Open Item Management

Hi,
Initially I have not created one account as open item management. After a period of time(after some transactions) I have made the balance Zero in that account and I have tried to create open item management for the account. But system is not accepting and error message is - Account balance is Zero but open items exists in the account.
BSR

Hello Dear,
From my $0.02, If you subsequently define open item management for a G/L account, this entry only applies to the items which are posted afterwards. At the date of the change, the account must display
a zero balance. Also, when canceling this indicator, the balance must be zero. You therefore have to clear the remaining open items before making the change in the master record.
FYI - Please make sure that only following accounts are required to be maintained as an Open Item management Accounts :
Cash discount clearing account
Clearing accounts
Bank clearing account
GR/IR clearing account
Salary/Payroll clearing account
Non Open Item Managed Accounts are as under:
Bank accounts
Tax accounts
Reconciliation accounts
Raw material accounts
Thanks

Change G/L Account from Non Open Item Managed to Open Item Managed

Experts,
We need to change a g/l account from Non - Open Item Managed to Open Item managed or in other words enable the Open Item Management for an account.
What's the best way to do this ? so that the existing items get cleared automatically.
All answers would be duly appreciated and rewarded with points.
Thanks,
Nandita

RFSEPA01
RFSEPA02
RFSEPA03
RFSEPA04
you have to check the documentation of the program to know which one u have to used here for your case .

Post open items with clearing for a account nt previously open item managed

Hi,
We have a current VAT account which was not open item managed till April 2008. Since the account has a zero balance we were able to make it open item managed from May onwards.
Using transaction code FS10N we see that there are some items which are open (type SB and SA). We want to post these items with clearing.
Moreover the postings made in the vat account are done every month but they are manual postings only using T.Code FB50 and as checked using the transaction code OB40.
We are not also allowed to run program RSEPA02. as this is not a standard program and not recommended to be run by SAP.
Could anyone please sujjest how can we post the previous items with clearing.
Thanks and regards,
Priyajit.

Hi,
In this case when you are shifting account from open item to non open item all the open item debit and credit side to a dummy account and when account is converted into open item you have to reverse the earlier entries.
Check this with what exactly you have done.
Assign points if solved the problem.
Warm Regards

GL acct change to Open Item management (with archived docu.)

Dear all,
When we use program ZRFSEPA02(copy from RFSEPA02) to switch on OI mang for GL acct,but program prompt this acct have documents were<b> archived and NOT allow to execute!</b> I know SAP announced RFSEPA02 was not usable since 4.5A,but users insist to use old GL acct,and ask SAP OSS and replied for consultant issue.
So is there any ways to solve this problem?

As you would not get to see the old docs even if the program did work then you should go the recommended route of creating a new G/L Account (with open item management switched on) and redirect your users and any system settings to it.

Cannot change the open item management setting

When I try to switch the open item management specification on or off, a message comes up telling me that if I want to switch this function on, I must create a new account with the correct setting and use it to make a transfer posting of existing items.
Does anybody know how to do this ?

HI,
If you want to use the original account number, you must bring the account balance to zero, change the account assignment, and re-post the items. You can remove the old items by archiving the documents.
Please change the error to a warning and you will able to skip it This will allow you to change the indicator XOPVW.
Keep in mind that changing the account management to line item/open item display is not recommended by SAP.

Changing an OI Managed Account to Non-Open Item

We are on ECC 6.0 instance.
We have an account which is open item managed and had activity in it. We want to change it back to non-open item managed. We are not sure about all the impacts. Would appreciate if you guys can share your experience.

Hello,
Even if you are on ECC 6.0, but not activated New GL functionality, you can follow the following procedure.
In your case, though balance is ZERO, they are not cleared against each other. It is the reason you are still facing the problem.
If ther is no open item management check box, then copy program RFSEPA02 to ZRFSEPA02 and append the initialization control.
If there is already open item management but you want to remove then copy RFSEPA03 to ZRFSEPA03 and append the initialization control.
Do the following steps:
1. Block the account for postings (all check boxes) in FS00
2. Run the customized Z program (Give the company code and account number)
3. Unblock the account for postings (remove all check boxes) in FS00
Take help from your ABAPer to stopping the initilization error check.
Hope this solves your issue.

Ravi

HI,
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 re-post the items. You can remove the old items by archiving the documents.

Open item management of GL account

Hi all
I am trying to activate open item mangement indicator for my tax account for around 30 company codes. I could able to activate for all exept one company code and i am receiving the massage as
"You cannot change the open item management setting".
Any suggetions???
Thanks.

Hi,
I think that Gl has some postings into it and so it will not allow you to change the OI management status. You transfer all the balance fron that GL to Other Dummy GL and the Try to change the status. Even the if it is not allowing the execute the following
Open Item Management
If you are in an new GL environment, you cannot change it; a new account is required as you may have to abandon the old one.
Are you release 4.5 A or earlier? Then SAP supports the change program RFSEPA02/03 after you zero down the balance of the balance sheet account. Beyond 4.5A and untill New GL, you can change it but beware, SAP no longer supports RFSEPA02/03, since handling errors frequently occurred in the past causing data inconsistencies.
If you nevertheless want to use the reports, copy them to ZFSEPA02 or ZFSEPA03 and mark the following lines as comments:
INITIALIZATION.
CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_DISPLAY_TEXT'
EXPORTING
POPUP_TITLE = ' '
TEXT_OBJECT = 'RFSEPA02' ('RFSEPA03')
EXCEPTIONS
TEXT_NOT_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
In addition, you must adjust the EPA00F00 include. Mark the following line as comment:
INCLUDE EPA00F00.
*>>>> START OF DELETION - NOTE 175960 <<<<
CHECK SY-REPID = 'RFSEPA02'. "<<<< INSERT - NOTE 0065877
*>>>> END OF DELETION - NOTE 175960 <<<<
Enhance the following line:
INCLUDE EPA00F00.
*>>>> START OF INSERTION - NOTE 175960 <<<<
CHECK SY-REPID = 'ZFSEPA02'. "<<<< INSERT - NOTE 0175960
*>>>> END OF INSERTION - NOTE 175960 <<<<
Please be aware that questions regarding the use of the reports will only be considered as SAP Consulting, since the account change is a correction to an incorrect account control

Error- Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted

Hi,
Can't we post to a GL, which is open item managed, in a non-leading ledger (statutory ledger)? We get this error when we try to post an entry, in the statutory ledger, to a GL that is open item managed.
Can anybody explain this, please?
Regards,
Mike

This is due to a design with the new GL.
In the new G/L accounting, when you use a particular ledger or ledger group, you can no longer make a direct ledger specific posting to accounts managed on an open item basis or to accounts with an account type not equal to 'S'.
You need to do posting with ledger group blank, which updates all the ledgers. The idea is, for open item accounts, all the ledgers should be in sync. for open item accounts IFRS and Local GAAP values are never different.
If you are doing this to do some correction posting while doing year end posting or migration for example. (A typical example is when an account is made open item managed at a later date). You need to change temporarily message control using transaction SE91 to force ledger specific postings to OI accounts

How to Change Open Item Management Field in GL Master Record

Hi,
How to change the field Open Item Management becz eventhough I tried through in norrmal way of making it that GL balance to 0 and made the change after that it not allowing to save and throwing the following errors,
Account Balance = 0 but open items exist is the error coming,
Can any one plz advice ?

Hi,
Once transaction data is posted, GL Account cannot be made into an open item managed account. However, you can consider the following options:
1. GL Account Balance is ZERO: If the GL Account balance is ZERO, the GL Master record can be changed to Open Item managed Account or vice versa. But this will not change the transaction data already posted. Only future transaction data will be open item managed.
2. Until SAP version 4.0B SAP has provided a program to convert a GL Account to open item managed account after transaction data is posted (or vice versa). You can execute this program by blocking the GL Account and this will make the required changes in tables and also change GL Master record.
But this program is not available for execution in higher versions. Hence, you can copy the program into a Z Program and execute it. The name of the standard program is RFSEPA02.
Thanks

Change open item management status

Hi,
We found the some GL accounts are maintained with no open item management status and already have postings in those GL accounts.
No, our client is aksing us to rectify the all this kind of accounts with no open item management.
Earlier we rectified this problem with zRFSEPA02.
But it is creating some problems in their reporting. Now my client is asking us to suggest a solution other than zRFSEPA02.
Because there are around hundres of accounts in no.of company codes say around more than 30 company codes.
Please let me, is there any solution to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance
Thanks& Regards,

1. Out of 4 G/L, we have managed to change 2 of the G/Ls to open item using ZRFSEPA02.
2. While other 2 encounter error "Line item total does not tally with account balance."
     - Message no. FH099
3. Basically we have make the account zero and blocked these G/Ls for posting before executing program
     ZRFSEPA02 and still can't find out what went wrong since the steps are the same.
4. Anyhow we can now tick all 4 G/Ls to Open Item Management with the successful G/Ls showing
     their line item as open item in FBL3N while those failed G/Ls currently showing line item as posted in the similar report.

We have successfully change to open item management for another set of G/Ls and the steps are below:-
(a) make sure all the balances were carried forward for all related ledgers which in our case we have 2, 00 and S
(b) ensure G/L account zero for all doc crcy, local crcy1, local crcy2 and local crcy3 (transfer for temp. to conversion purpose G/L)
(c) blocked all the related G/Ls
(d) execute ZRFSEPA02 for all the related G/Ls
(e) unblock the G/Ls from step (c)
(f) reverse entries from step (b)

Change GL acc to NON open item Management

Good day all
We have a couple of GL accounts that the client want to change from open item management to NON open item management.
I was told to 1. Block the GL accounts
                    2. Clear the balances,
                    3. Customize program RFSEPA03 to Z program and run
                    4. Move balance back to GL account
                    5. Unblock GL account.
My question now is, I can change the open item setting after the balance is cleared and save the changes, so why do I have to use program RFSEPA03 then? Is there any other purpose for program RFEPS03 other dan taking the "tick" out of the OPen Item Management box?
If I do it manually, it will save me development time as the program wont be needed in a customized format.
Please advice.
Kind regards
Lu

Hi Gopal,
You can maitian a gl a/c without line item display to do so follow the path
sap easy access-accouting-financial accouting-general ledger-master records-gl a/cs-individual processing-centrally, or trans code FS00
then open the gl account in the required company code and click control data ,then click change and under account management in company code u can un check line item display and save the changes.
Make sure line item display is off for recon accounts as the line item are maintained at customer or vendor level and for bank a/c line item should always be ticked on .
Hope this is helpful if so reward points.
regards,
Mayur

Changing Open Item Management Settings

Hi,
When iam trying to change the open item management settings i am getting the error that Account balance is zero, but the account has open items. Why iam getting this error? and how to resolve this.
Thanks

Hello,
was the message : FH190 generated when you change the o"pen line item management flag"?
The error message FH190 prevents users from switching off the Open item management indicator when open items already exist. Please consider the following options:
1) Change error message FH190 to warning message via transaction OBA5.
     Enter application area FH. Press Enter. Click on New entries.
    MsgNo                    Online           Batchl
    190                      W                W
    Click on Save.
2) Create new G/L account with Open item management indicator turned OFF via transaction FS00. Transfer balance from old G/L account (open item management ON) to new G/L account (open item management OFF).
Please review note 606977 for further info.
Also check NOTE 403744 which may be helpful to use. However, this is aConsulting note where is also advised not to activate the line item management but to transfer the items to this new account.
