How to change status of open item management check box??

Dear Members,
There is a GL which was not defined as Open Item Management Previously.
Now we Identified and we wanted to define it as Open Item Managed account.
For ex take ..Payable Account
say there is one line item with credit balance ..to make this accoount balance as 0 (ZERO) ..we reversed the original entry ..we tried to select open item check box..
but system is not allowing us to change ..instead its giving msg"Account balance is zero but stil open items exists"
i dont understan this ..
now how to solve this problem
thanks & regards.

Hi suja csc,
Thanks for the points : )
OK it's very easy to transfer the balance. Either u have already customised program to upload data or if the data is "little" u can just manual posting using FB01. just zerorise all balances in the old account.
Eg. old journal:
01 MAN        NIAGA SDN.              1,975.00
50 80070010   Rental-Car Park              1,975.00-
To transfer:
17 MAN        NIAGA SDN.              1,975.00-
40 80070010   Rental-Car Park              1,975.00
Means, the account will be zero.
Hope this will help you.
TQ

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
Durga.

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.

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).

Activation of open item management for loans taken.

Dear Experts,
How to activate opem item management for loans taken. Also how to link a vendor to business patner if both are same.

Hello,
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 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.

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.

Hello
If you have created a GL account without selecting open item managment check box and lateron you found that it should have been maintained on Open item basis,the system will not alow you to mark the checkbox as open item mangt if some open items still exist.
First make the account balance to zero by clearing the account.Even if the system issue a error msg try these:
Block the relevant account for posting in the company code
Run program ZFSEPA03
Unblock the account
In earlier versions there was a program which when run allows you to maintain OI for future transactions, but I am not sure about this now

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.

How to activate open item management of rgl account

how can i acivate the Open item management option for already existed GL accounts
please expalin me the steps
thanks
sunitha

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
