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'

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

Open item managment is set to B/S accounts
Hi Guru's
I saw open item managment is set to B/S accounts only. Do we set for P&L accounts also? If so examples please.

Odaiah PelleyHi ,
OPEN ITEM MANAGMENT-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.
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 accounts
These are managed implicitly using the subledger open item function.
Profit and loss accounts

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,
MJHi,
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.

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. -
Parallel ledger - posting in one ledger only - Open Item managed account
Hello all,
We have a requirement which necessitates posting some entries in one ledger only for the purpose of complying with more than one GAAP. (US GAAP and local GAAP). However we understand that such postings cannot be made to GL accounts which are open item managed.
Is there any workaround for this? How do we get around this?
Regards
SukumarHi Sukumar,
According to my understanding, directly postings to GLs is possible in case of 'Open Items Managed' GLs. To ensure parallel accounting with different GAAPs, you must have defined Leading & Non-leading Ledgers. You can pass entries directly to Non-Leading Ledgers to ensure compliance with the relevant A/cing stds.

Hi,
I have earlier created a GL Account without choosing the option of Open Item Manage. Now this account has certain entries and have balance.
Can anybody guide me for converting this account into "Open item managed".
Regards,
HarishHi,
If you want to change the flag "open item management", you need to follow the steps described in message FH087:
"If you want to switch this function on retroactively for a certain account, you should create a new account with the correct setting and use this to make a transfer posting of existing items."
"If you want to switch off the open item management function retroactively for an account, you must first clear all the postings currently on this account. You cannot make any changes to the account management method until this is done."
The only possible workaround available for the same is:
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.
Please assign points if it useful.

Activate "Open Item Management" for an Asset, line items posted previously
Dear Experts,
In Asset there are line items already posted but it is not "Open Item Management" only "Line Item Display" is activated. Now we want this as "Open Item Management". We are using ECC 6.0.
Please help... how to go about it?
- NileshDear John Sir,
Thanks a lot for the explanation which was really helpful.
As per last discussion : "If asset clearing account XXXXXX had not been maintained as open item management and posted with a balance. It canu2019t be changed directly using FSS0 in G/L master because of non-zero balance on account XXXXXX."
Please can you explain the detail steps involved for your suggested solution i.e; The step SA38 > RFSEPA02 should be used to achieve this purpose.
We are usin ECC 6.0. so do we need to convert program "RFSEPA02" to "ZRFSEPA02".? And what are the repucations involved if we execute this solution, as SAP itself don't recommend this program to execute.
Please help.

Activate "Open Item Management" for account, line items posted previously
Hi SAP Gurus,
I am having a problem when do a clearing for GL account due to "open item management" check box in Txn FS00 is not activated and only "Line Item Display" is activated. For your info, there are line items already posted and now we want this GL as an "Open Item Management". We are using ECC 6.0.
I did referred to a previous posting in this Forums Activate "Open Item Management" for an Asset, line items posted previously but i received these errors when following the solution. The errors are like below:
*Account 0039091200 is a reconciliation account in company code 5000
*Company code 5000 is not considered for the activation
What does it means by these errors? How do i rectify this error?
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
NazrulHi,
1. Executing report RFSEPA02 has a risk and also doubtful since it is not applicable in ECC 6.0 (New GL).
2. Create a New G/L with Open item management and transfer the balance to the newly created G/L.
Refer the earlier threads / replies else last option contact SAP (OSS).

SwatiHi
You cannot put open item management tick for P&L Accounts. It can be done only for Balance Sheet Accounts and that too for example liability accounts(salary payable account, clearing accounts), receivables where you would like to make use of F-03 viz., GL clearing. Similarly you do not tick open item management for GLs which have been mapped as spl GL accounts in Spl GL transactions. Hope it is clear.

If you have balance in GL account you can't make it as "open item management"
make zero balance
block the account for further postings
run RFSEPA02 in SE38
then unblock the account
transfer the balance from the dummy account

How to activate open item management of rgl account
Hi GURU'S
i have one issue with acivate of open itme management check box, as i knew there is one program RFSEPA02 but its not working for 5.0 version,
how can i acivate the Open item management option for already existed GL accounts
please expalin me the steps
thanks
sunithaHi,
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
regards,
radhika

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.
ThanksHello,
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.
Best Regards,
Gladys xing
