Message FH017 Open item management only allowed for balance sheet accounts

Hi,
While creating a new GL account with P&L type it's giving the above message. If I select the BS type indicator, it's saving without any error.
I observed, account group selection is creating this problem. Since creation of other accounts in other accounts groups doesn't get such problems.
Any clues??
Thanks in advance
Durga.

    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'

  • Commitment Item for Balance Sheet accounts

    Hi all,
    Can someone clearly explain the need to create commitment items for balance sheet accounts? I have searched a lot and have not found a satisfactory explanation. Since balance sheet accts are typically not budgeted, why do they even have to be reflected in FM?
    Please explain.
    Thanks,
    MJ

    Hi,
    Sometimes, there is a need in budget check, through posting on balance sheet accounts, e.g. stocks, assets, etc. However, in most other cases it's indeed not necessary and the commitment item given should be either dummy one or in special cases, GR/IR, banks, etc., defined specifically for the issue in question.
    Keep in mind, that once FM is activated every relevant posting must have FM assignment, including those on balance sheet accounts. That's why, even if you don't want to manage the budget, you have to assign FM objects to these postings.

    Eli

  • Budget Control for Balance Sheet Accounts

    Hi All,
    How can we manage budgets for Balance sheet Accounts such as Fixed Assets, IT Infrastructure, Capital Work in progress etc.,
    Thanks,
    Srikanth

    Hi Mr Vemuri,
    The acount will appear in the budget setup if you go to:
    Financials -> Chart of Accounts -> Select the account -> 'Account Details' -> check the box 'Relevant to Budget'.
    By default only Profit and Loss accounts are included in the budget setup.
    I tested this in:
    2005B
    2005A SP01
    2007A
    I hope this helps.

  • Cost center empty in general ledger view for balance sheet accounts

    Hi !
    We are implementing ECC6 with new GL functionalities. We activated differents scenarii: cost center, profit center and segment.
    Using FB03 (display document) we noticed that in the entry view, everything is fine: cost center, profit center and segment are filled successfully.
    However, in the New GL view, the cost center is not filled for balance sheet accounts.
    Any solution?
    Regards,
    Julien

    HI,
    Cost center will never be filled for the Balance Sheet account. For Balance sheet account Profit Center is required to be filled.
    Don't be afraid this is the fundamental practice across the globe. Cost centers will be filled in only Expense account.
    Exception to above rule is Asset master will recieve cost center because this will help in determining asset per department.

  • Upload plan data for balance sheet accounts

    Hi Experts,
    Is there a way to upload plan data for balance sheet accounts? I can upload revenue/cos and expenses through the profit center and cost center uploading but need to upload balance sheet accounts as well. Any  help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Loading balance sheet accounts using the Excel load to profit center tells me that I selected balance sheet accounts that cannot be entered manually. Not sure what this means... if I have an accounts receivable account, how would I find another equivalent account?

    Hi Vijay,
    Good day!
    I would like to seek your advice regarding the default profit center for Balance Sheet Account:
    We have this issue that BS account defualted to a certain profit center: I have done several testings but still cannot find why the BS account defaulted to the profit center
    1. I have checked the FAGLBK3EH and the BS account in which PC defaulted is not maintained in this tcode.
    2. also check the OBBH and the document does not contain any cost object wherein a profit center can be derived. also checked  substitution, either both of this code does not defines the profit center im searching for.
    Can you please advice some directions where to check and why certain profit center defaulted to balance sheet account.
    Your advice is greatly appreciated.

  • Open item management tick status for all gl

    is thr any  t.code by which we can check on which gl the open item management tick available on our chart of account in fs00...?

    Hi,
    1. First got to the transaction se16 , give  table  T001 and give the COA in the field KTOPL then derive all the respective CC(BUKRS) assigned in it.
    2. Then Go to SKB1 and give all the field values in BUKRS which are derived above and flag the field XOPVW as "x" and execute
    Now you are going to get all the OI mgmt enabled GL accounts for a particular COA.
    Definately this is going to resolve your Querry.

  • Budgeting for balance sheet accounts

    Hi Expert,
    I have activated the profit center accounting for my company. Now the users can use the PCA functions. They are planning to do budget process in SAP. There is no problem to enter budget for P&L accts. But they want to enter budget for balance sheet acct as well.
    how to set the configurations to allow entering of budget for balance sheet accts ? Please advise the stepo by step procedure. After done with the configurations, any additional month end closing steps to be performed ? Do I stuill need to create cost element accts for the balance sheet GL accts, like the cost element for P&L accts ?
    Thanks.
    Angel.

    Hi,
    I assume by referring to Budgeting, you require Availabiility control as well.
    Budgeting and availability control for Balance sheet and P&L accounts is available in Funds Management  under Public sector Management functionality.

  • JVA: CutBack for Balance Sheet Accounts

    Hi all,
    We have some business requirements where for some specific processes we need to cuback the amounts regarding Pre-Payments or depreciation amounts of non-production assets (moveable assets like cars).
    The problem seems that those amounts are in Balance Sheet accounts (of course, for the depreciation amounts the P/L side can be cutbacked without issues).
    So, my question is; How can we cutback the amounts posted to the Balance Sheet GL accounts since these don't require any cost object.
    Br,

    Hi there,
    GJ49 and GJ83 will not help in this case.
    you have to use substitution rule in FI and JV to default recovery indicator for balance sheet cutback
    kindly note based on the billing indicator you have chosen at company code recovery indicator derivation will work, you can however overwrite using substitution
    I hope this helps
    Thanks & Regards

  • Functional Area Determination for Balance Sheet Accounts

    Hi all,
    We are on 4.7C and want to activate Functional Area updation on Vendor Invoices but when we go to FB60 and create manual Vendor Invoice the Field FKBER does not appear. We have made the FSG optional on the reconciliation account already.
    We have tried updating FA, to another Balace Sheet account via GL posting and have succeeded.
    Are we missing something, thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Mayank

    Dear,
    Functional ares are used for Cost Sales Accounting per functional area. It will only report the income-expense statement for the functional area.
    Note: Balanace sheet accounts can not be mapped to functional are. This is standard behaviour.
