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
Murali.

Hidden "open item management" field

Hello,
I want to change a G/L account into a reconciliation account.
Therefore I need to set it with open item management.
I have changed the field status into "Reconcil. accounts".
However, the "open item management" field is hidden.
How can I show it in the account?
Are there any other settings that I need to do?
Thank you for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Linda

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.

Hi,
You can activate the OI mangement for GL accuonts through FS00 (GL Master Data). Have you made any transactions to those GL Accounts. If you wish to use the original account number, first you must make the account balance to zero , and then activate the OI check box
Or you can create a new account with the correct account assignment and transfer the balance fm the old account to the new account.
The GL will be open item managed only with effect from the date of activating the OI check box.
hope this helps

Change Open Item Management for GL accounts

Hi All,
Good Day.
I would like to asked if you have any idea on how to solve the error we encountered upon opening our open item management for our GL? The error is Line item total does not tally with account balance. Message no. FH099.
We have a Z* program customized from program RFSEPA02, we test it out in our QA and it was working fine. Even if the GLs has balance in QA.
But when we transfer it in Production, we encountered this kind of error.
Any idea how to solve it, i tried reading other questions on this forum with the same error, but i cant find any solution specific for this error.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi,
See the Note 203329 - RFSEPA02 generates FH099 alth. balance = item total
Symptom
Report RFSEPA02 generates the error message FH099: 'Line item total does not tally with account balance' although the item total tallies with the balance and SAPF190 does not show any differences.
Additional key words
RFSEPA01, FIINCON
Cause and prerequisites
Open item management has already been activated once and items were cleared so that cleared items exist in the system for the account. These are not taken into account during the check of the item total with the account balance and cause the error message.
Solution
Reset the clearing transactions using Transaction FBRA.
Thanks & Regards,

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,
PRASAD

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.
Running SAP 4.7
Message was edited by: Mohd Shazaly A Jamil
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 Open Item management for FX valuation

Hi,
We have one case here where one GL had Open item management and it was revaluated with open items using an adjustment account. It ws done for a while and the user realize that this account was needed to be revaluated with the same account.
Therefore, they remove the "open item" mark to the account and fill the "Exchange rate diff key" in the master data and set up the KDB transaction for the FX valuation without open item. But the system is still working as before, the account is revaluated with the Adjustment account instead with the same account. It seems that the change from "open item" to NON open item is not working.
Any advice?
Thanks a lot,
Adela.

GL Open Item Managed Flag Changed Historically - Orphan items left on acct

Back in 2000 for some of our GLs the Open Item Managed flag was changed. Initially it was not checked but now it is. We know that SAP doesn't really let you do it anymore but apparently back then whoever did it didn't follow what was then the suggested procedure. As a result we have an account balance of say 500,000 which I can see in FS10N however if I run it for all open items in FBL3N I get 450,000 because 50,000 are not open or cleared. I can't go in and clear these off against anything because they are not open item managed. Is there a program that can be ran to make them open?
I thought RFSEPA01 would do the trick and after running it in our QA environment the log states:
Line Items Year Remark
         1 2000 Document selected
         1 2000 Document changed
However when I go to F-03 it still won't bring the documents in as it says they are not open item managed.
Sure enough if I go look in table BSIS at the document the Open Item Managed flag is not set.
What's the best procedure to resolve these? Do I have to create a Z program that will flag the Open Item Managed field (XOPVW) and then clear these documents off against something?
TIA

Hello,
Please check the SAP note 175960.
As explained in the note 175960, is not possible to subsequently
activate the open item management under some conditions.
With NewGL, the split information on open items is stored in
FAGL_SPLINFO and FAGL_SPLINFO_VAL which are only updated when the
document is being posted through active document split. Also RFSEPA02
does not update these tables.
If you are NOT using NEW/GL with doc split (inactive), you may create
add-on report by copying RFSEPA02 and adding modification on the report
per note 175960.
As the note states, if you decide to take RFSEPA02 approach,
please do so at your own risk. Possible problems (such as data
inconsistency) can only be handled by SAP within chargeable remote
consulting.
All important information is written on note 175960.

Use of field "Open Item management" in Configuration of order types?

Hi All,
Can any body explain me the use of BOX for selectind or de-selecting "Open item management" field for order type in "Configuration of order types"?
I need to understand the use of selecting it and not selecting it?

it will activate the commitment management for your order type.
From SAP help:
" Commitments are contractual or MRP-relevant obligations that are not entered in accounting but that lead to actual costs as a result of various business transactions, for example for purchase orders.
Commitments Management is used to enter these obligations at an early stage and to analyze their cost- and finance-related results. "
Hope this helps

Aslo see help on open Item managed field by pressing f1
Indicator: Open Item Management?
Determines that open items are managed for this account.
Use
Items posted to accounts managed on an open item basis are marked as open or cleared. The balance of these accounts is always equal to the balance of the open items.
Procedure
Set up accounts with open item management if offsetting entries are to be assigned to the postings made to these accounts. Postings to these accounts represent incomplete transactions.
Example:
A goods receipt/invoice receipt (GR/IR) clearing account should be managed on an open item basis so that you can check at any time whether invoices have been received for the goods received for an order.
Set up accounts without open item management if no offsetting entry is to be made against a posting to this account.
Examples
Accounts that are managed on an open item basis include:
Clearing accounts:
Bank clearing account
Payroll clearing account
Cash discount clearing account
GR/IR clearing account
Accounts that are not managed on an open item basis:
Bank accounts
Tax accounts
Raw material accounts
Reconciliation accountsThese are managed implicitly using the subledger open item function.Profit and loss accounts
Materials Management (MM) accounts posted with a posting key that has account type 'M'

Data in BSIS/BSAS for a non-open item managed account

Hi
We have a GL account (Bank account) which does not have open item management checked in its master data,
Still I can find line items for this account in table BSIS / BSAS
How is this possible ? and if an account is not open item managed, how do the records move from BSIS to BSAS ?
Regards
Sachin

Non Open Item Account should have entries only in Table BSIS and no entries in BSAS. Check if there was OpenItem mgmt earlier but deactivated later.
