Open Item Manage - GL Account

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,
Harish

Hi,
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 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,
    Nazrul

    Hi,
    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).

  • "Open Item Managed" for Bank GL accounts

    I am trying to tell my users that they should set the bank GL accounts (not the bank clearing account) as "open item managed".  Our users have been clearing the bank accounts down to make it exactly the same as the bank statement.  All the SAP Helps and manuals suggest that bank accounts shouldn't be open item managed.  But what is the implication?  Is there any auidt issue?
    Thanks

    Hi
    The main Bank Account is the GL Account that is used for all the accounting transaction by default including the payment transactions. Bank Sub Account is used as a clearing account for payment transaction to track the payments that are not yet cleared by the bank. It would not make sense to make the main Bank account Open Item managed from accounting perspective. This account will come into picture when actual clearing happens and gets confirmed from the Bank.
    It may not be an Audit related perspective.

  • Open Item Management Error

    FI experts,
    I am getting teh following error when trying to post thru an interface, "Account Type M and G/L with open item management not permitted"
    I went to FS00 and tried to check off Open item management, but account gave me an error, that it canno change it.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Hello,
    You cannot create both an account as a Reconciliation Type (M) as well as open item management for an account.
    The system only accept either of one.
    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.

  • Open Item Management and Taxation Configuration Material Needed

    Hi,
    When a GL is created it can be a normal GL account or an open item managed GL Account. In case of an open item managed GL Account the debites and credits are knocked off and the net balance in the account indicates the amount amout due or amount receivable etc.
    Some of the examples of GL Accounts are GR/IR clearing account, Bank clearing account, accrual accounts, Prepaid AAccounts, Loan account etc.
    By default Customer and Vendor Accounts are open item managed accounts.
    In SDN you can search for the documentation of Tax configuration. There are several threads on this topic.
    Thanks

  • Posting to G/L accounts with open item management not permitted Fagl_post

    Dear Expert,
    When i run the foreign cur rev. through FAGL_FC_VAL then system is not post the currency rev on open item on GL account.  It showing subject message and also show below mesaage:-
    Message no. FAGL_POST_SERVICE012
    Diagnosis
    You use GL account 210012 in company code 1000 with open item management. However, posting  are not permitted G/L accounts in individual ledger with open item management.
    Please advice on this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Pankaj

    Hello Pankaj,
    Is your adjustment account was defiined as OI management. if yes, then t is generally not permitted to use the O/I managed account as an djustment account. The adjustment account is the same as O/I
    managed GL account, so the error message FAGL_POST_SERVICE012 is issued. This is justified because open items must be made valid for ALL ledgers in the client but FAGL_FC_TRANS posts ledger specific posting by having ledger group in the document header - Ledger Grp 0L.
    The best solution is to assign non-O/I managed account as an adjustment account, and this is the 'standard' solution.Please also check note 884639.

    You use G/L account 200100 in company code RLIF with open item
    management. However, postings are not permitted to G/L accounts in
    individual ledgers with open item management.
    Procedure
    If you have not yet made any postings to this account and if the

    deactivate the Open Item Management indicator in the company code data
    for the G/L account.

  • Change GL Account from Open Item Managed into non-Open Item Managed

    In the former R3 environments, release 4.6 there was the program RFSEPA03 to turn off open item management.
    However, in ECC 6.0 this program is blocked and there seems to be no possibility to change a GL account back to non-open item mgt.
    Please comment,
    Kind Regards WR

    Yes .. I Agree with you ...
    Actually I accidently, did not check the GL first, but run the ZRFSEPA02 first .... because of that, my GL is check as an open item and as a recon account too ...
    any solutions ?

  • 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

  • Open Items Management for B/S Account

    Hi Friends,
    I have a b/s account in which open items management is turned off[unchecked],
    We have already made postings to that account, Now when I try to turn it on, it gives me error message that balance needs to be zero to change the status of open item management.
    Is there any other way , I can change the status of account.
    Regards,
    Wilson

    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.
    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.

  • Activate Open Item Management for a tax GL account

    Hi experts
    I have tried different options and explored forums but haven't been able to find the solution as yet.
    I have some tax GL accounts (Tax Category field in their GL master is < or > i.e. Input or Output Tax Account). There have been postings to these accounts but these accounts are not open item managed. To perform clearing for these accounts, I need to activate OIM for which I'm trying FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP but the system gives me error"
    "Not possible to determine tax indicator in company code xxxx
    Company code xxxx is not considered for the activation"
    When I further drilldown the error, i find the following information:
    Diagnosis
    Postings to the selected account require a tax code. On the basis of the company code data (T001), the system tried to determine a tax code for zero tax. However, there is no such tax code stored for the company code.
    Procedure
    Specify the tax code for zero tax in the company code. You do this in Customizing for Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) under Assign Tax Codes for Non-Taxable Transactions.
    I have checked settings in OBCL for Non-Taxable Transactions and found that I0 and O0 are maintained for Input and Output tax (also tax jurisdiction). In Table T001 I also find these entries so these seem to be complete.
    Can somebody please help me sorting out this issue.
    Many thanks!

    Hi,
    Some G/L accounts cannot be managed on an open item basis,
    specially G/L accounts that are used in account determination for
    automatic transactions (ie: accounts set up as bank accounts, Tax
    accounts, raw material accounts, reconciliation accounts, profit and
    loss accounts).
    It is the standard design of the FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP that there is no
    conversion of a tax account to open item management.
    Processes as the posting of the sales/purchases tax payable do not
    process any clearing transactions therefore the open item management is
    not necessary. Clearings must really never be posted to an input VAT or
    output vat tax account, otherwise it would prevent subsequent processes
    on the actual open items (Customer or vendor). The only tax account on
    which the open item management should be possible is the G/L account of
    the deferred tax.
    Hope my information was helpful for you.
    Regards,
    Cristiano
