Open items and line items

Hi Gurus,

Thanks and Regards
Balu

Here is the SAP help text on the field 'Open Item Management'.  Should answer your query!
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 accounts
These 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'

  • Open Item and Line Items are not matching

    Hi Gurus,
    I ran the EFT for vendor #1600109 for payment on 10/18/07.  If I run the vendor open items report (ZFI019) for today, it shows the balance net of the EFT that is $203,466 ( $263869 - EFT Value is $60,403). 
    When I ran the vendor line items display (FBL1N), it shows all the invoices including the invoices paid on the Oct 18 EFT $263,869 which is (2034,66+60,403). 
    User wants the open item report should tally the line item display.
    I will assign good points.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Gurus,
    EFT is working fine. But the Vendor Open item Report (Custom Report) and Vendor line item report (FBL1N) is different.
    We are looking a balance for a vendor as on 15th where the balances are not matching between the reports but if i run FBL1N on 18th the balances are matching.
    Clearning date is 18th
    Posting Date is 15th.
    Thanks

  • GL Accounts for Open item and Line item magt

    Hi Experts,
    Can anyone explain the concept of-
    1. Open item management and
    2. Line item management in GL creation.
    And also explain the business scenerio of selecting these field in GL Master. I mean when  and circumstances in which selecting the above two fields.
    Best Wishes,
    Priyanka

    Hi,
    Open Item Management
    If you set the "Open item management" indicator in the master record for an account, the line items in this account is marked as open or cleared.
    The balance of an account with open item management is equal to the balance of the open items. General ledger accounts are kept with open item management if you need to check whether there is an offsetting posting for a given business transaction.
    You should use open item management for bank clearing accounts, clearing accounts for goods receipt/invoice receipt, and salary clearing accounts.
    Bank accounts, however, do not use open item management.
    If you subsequently define open item management for a G/L account, this entry only applies to the items which are posted afterwards. At the date of the change, the account must display a zero balance.
    Also, when canceling this indicator, the balance must be zero. You therefore have to clear the remaining open items before making the change in the master record.
    Line Item Management
    If you set the "Line item display" indicator in the master record for an account, all line items that have been posted to this account are displayed if they have not been archived.
    You use line item display to display the document line items from the account. For line item display, the system lists all the line items for an account.
    In short, Open item management is to be selected for all types of clearing accounts like GR/IR, Check Recieved, Check Issued A/c, Check Deposits A/c etc.
    Where as Line item management is to be selected where the GL account is to be posted for more than one customers/vendors etc.
    For example: We have 10 customers. We have received checks from them and posted to the same GL (Checks Received A/c). IN this case Line item Management is must. Then only we can able to see the line items and able to identify our customers.
    However this field is not necessay for accounts with many transactions like Sales A/c, Reconciliation Accounts etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • Extracting Line Item and Line Item Status

    We are on version 3.5 of BW.
    I have a requirement to associate each row in the change log of the ODS - Sales Order: Item Status to a row in the change log of the ODS - Sales Order Item Data.
    For example:
    When there is a status change recorded in a "before" and "after" image rows in the Item Status change log, how do I associate that to the "before" and "after" image rows in the Sales Order Item Data.  Likewise of there is a "N"ew record in the Item Status, how can I associate that row to the "N"ew row in the change log for the Sales Order Item Data.
    Is this even possible?

    Thanks for your reply.  However can you be a bit more explicit using the terms:
    Sales Item Change Log
    Sales Item Active Data
    Sales Item STATUS Change Log
    Sales Item STATUS Active Data
    Any other table you may be using.
    In what table(s) are these counters and how do they cross reference each other?  How are you incrementing a counter in the Sales Item ODS and cross referencing it to a counter in the Sales Item STATUS ODS?   Remember what I want to do is reference a row in the STATUS ODS to a row in the Sales Item ODS.
    Again, thanks!

  • Header  Item Vs Line Item

    What is the difference between Header Item and Line Item.Plz explain with example.

    Hi
    Header Means the Header details which are common to all the items such as Sold to, Shipto party , Ref Po No date and Total value and currency etc for a sales order.
    Item data means all the materials(product) related data with material, description,qty, unit, Plant, st locn etc. there may be multiple items for a single header.
    Schedules lines means on what dates we are going to deliver the items.
    so for example for a Item qty is 20, so we can delivery it in 3 times on 3 different dates. so these 3 dates are mentioned as 3 different lines.
    I will try to explain in the Sales Scenario.
    Say, u have created a Sales Order. S.O. is the document in which you specify what all things are sold by you to the customer.
    Then Every S.O will have a unique number.
    A S.O. can have multiple items sold in it. Every Item in a Sales Order corresponds to a Line-Item. Now, there will be some characteristics which will be associated with a Order as a whole like S.O. Type, Creation Date, created by etc. These details are called Header details.
    Now, a Sales Order needs to be delivered to the customer. That delivery can be scheduled. Say, 50% of Part A is to be sent today and rest is to be sent tomorrow. So, this is the schedule line for that Sales Order Item.
    Hierarchy goes like this :
    S.O. --> Multiple Line Items --> Each Line Item can have multiple schedule lines.

  • Interest calculation on Open items and cleared items

    Dear Experts
    I am trying to do needful configuration for interest indicator on which interest can be calculated for open items and cleared items as well.  But,  system is calculating interest for open items properly, but not calculating interest on cleared items with same interest indicator,  I am repeatedly getting error "interest calculation indicator is not compatible with this type of interest calculation"
    Is it possible to use same interest indicator for open line items and cleared line items of customer?
    If possible, request you share the needful config steps to do same.
    points will be awarded for usful reply.
    Best regards,
    S. Habib Pasha.

    Hello Habib,
    depending on the requests you can setup a item interest calculation or a balance interest calculation "Define calculation types".
    IIC: check settings (item selection, all cleared items, only items with payment, no cleared items) "Prepare item interest calculation"
    I guess you have setup the item interest calculation - maybe you have mixed some entries with BAIC.
    Check in "Prepare account balance interest calculation" whether you have entries with the indicator you want to use.
    At least check your entries in "Define time-based Terms" If you have entries with Balance account interest calculation the system gives even an error.
    Hope this is helpfull.
    Best regards

  • Difference between Transaction Figures and Line Items

    Hi,
    I gone through FI like FI-GL,FI-AR,FI-AP..there i find...
    Line Items & Transaction figures as main...like
    in FI we have
    Line Items - 0FI_GL_4,0FI_AR_4,0FI_AP_4 etc...
    Transaction Figures - 0FI_GL_6,0FI_AR_6,0FI_AP_6 etc...
    Now Can some please explain...
    what exactly Line Items are?
    What exactly Transaction Figures are?
    How data flows from end to end in FI? i.e where exactly GL,AR,AP comes into picture..how they are internally related?
    Some one please explain me in detail (with expamles if possible) and quick reply is much appreciated...
    Regards
    Ramsunder

    Hi
    What exactly  line items :
    Line items are document items that were posted to a specific account. In contrast to a document item a line item only contains the information from the document that is relevant from the account view.
    You can display the following line items:
    Open items, Cleared items, Noted items, Parked items ,Items with special G/L transactions (in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable),Items with customer or vendor items (in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)
    You can display the line items for the following account types:  Customer accounts,Vendor accounts,G/L accounts.
    What exactly Transaction Figures are?
    Transaction figures are the sums of line items on the debit or credit side. The balance is the difference between the debit and the credit transaction figure.
    If you take General ledger
    AP records all accounting transactions for dealings with suppliers(Vendors). Much of its data is obtained from procurement (Materials Management).
    AR records all accounting transactions for dealings with customers. Much of its data is obtained from Sales and Distribution.
    Asset Accounting records all accounting transactions relating to the management of assets.
    Travel Management manages and calculates travel costs and supports travel planning and travel expenses.
    Bank ledger supports the posting of cash flows.

  • General Ledger - Open Item Mgt/Line Item Display

    Hello Experts,
    GL Account was created with no tick in open item mgt and line item display.  Business users posted few entries and now realised that the accunt type should be open item manageable and display should be at line item level.  Going through the SDN forums, few experts suggested the workaround  as follows:
    1. Block for posting GL master
    2. Make it zero balance in the account(clear existing trans)
    3. Run program(SE38) RFSEPA01
    4. Check Open Item Check box/Line Item Display
    5. Unblock the GL master
    6. Continue posting as normal.
    However the above solution was recommended for 4.7 or earlier versions and for ECC 6, the recommendation was to open a totally new GL master with correct attributes and block the old GL master. 
    My client is running ECC 6.2 but requires this corrected asap and I wonder if anyone can suggest a better solution than creating a totally new GL master.
    Appreciate quick resolution/advice.
    Thanks
    Mohammed.

  • E Sourcing 7.0: Formula Pricing and  Line Item Formula

    Hi
    I am currently working on e sourcing 7.0. Here there are new features provided in Rfx->Line Item setup called Formula Prcing and Line Item Formula
    I was trying to use Line Item Formula feature to provide pricing formula for line items.I chose pricing structure as Formula Prcing and tried to advance the phase of Rfx, System gave an error that I need to create unit price formula if I choose Formula Pricing.But once I create unit price formula it makes the Line Item Formula redundant.
    Moreover the problem with unit price formula is Unit Price field is only available with Line Item Formula.It doesnot allow me to create an effective unit price formula beacuse of limitations of field at exposure.
    Has anybody used this feature? Kindly help me understand
    Regards
    Shobha
    Edited by: Shobha M Narayanaswamy on Aug 12, 2011 11:02 AM

    Hi Shobha,
    I hope members who have used this feature chime in. I am only playing with Formula Pricing because we are evaluating these as well.
    I was not able to use the standard fields when using Formula Pricing.
    I am retracting what I said in the last post, apologies, I made a mistake in the supplier response.
    From what I understand now:
    If you want to have sub components of the unit price (or more important, any other calculations for unit price), you should choose "Formula Pricing" under Pricing Structure. E.g., my company asks for supplier's manufacturing costs, their purchased parts cost etc all of which contribute to make up the unit price. In this example, I created Supplier Entered Attributes for Manufacturing Cost and Purchased Parts Cost and added a Unit Price formula which was the sum of both. In addition, I created a Supplier Entered Attribute for "Freight Cost" which is not really a part of the unit price, but is an additional cost. In Line Item Formulas, I added 2 formulae, just for example.
    Total Freight Cost = Quantity * Freight Cost (Supplier Entered Attribute)
    Total Calculated Cost = Total Freight Cost + (UnitPrice(IncoTerm) * Quantity)
    Part 1 - Quantity = 10, Manufacturing Cost = 5, Purchased Part Cost = 5, Freight = 3
    Part 2 - Quantity = 10, Manufacturing Cost = 6, Purchased Part Cost = 6, Freight = 3
    System correctly calculated
    Part 1 Unit Price = 10
    Part 1 Unit Price = 12
    Part 1 Total Freight Cost = 10 * 3 = 30
    Part 2 Total Freight Cost = 10 * 3 = 30
    Sum=60
    Part 1 Total Calculated Cost = 30 + (10*10) = 130
    Part 2 Total Calculated Cost = 30 + (10*12) = 150
    Sum = 280
    If you do not need the sub-components of the Unit Price, we can leave the pricing structure at Unit Price. I did that for an RFX, and also added the same 2 formulae in Line Item Formulas as above. This worked fine for me.
    Part 1 - Quantity = 10, Unit Price = 3, Freight = 5
    Part 2 - Quantity = 10, Unit Price = 3, Freight = 5
    System correctly calculated:
    Part 1 Total Freight Cost = 10 * 5 = 50
    Part 2 Total Freight Cost = 10 * 5 = 50
    Sum=100
    Part 1 Total Calculated Cost = 50 + (10*3) = 80
    Part 2 Total Calculated Cost = 50 + (10*3) = 80
    Sum = 160
    Both the above scenarios work fine for me.
    The only open item is, I could not find a way to get these added to the Total Cost and Total Price listed on the "RFX Responses tab". I don't think it is possible to do that. I think you have to view these in the "Formula View" of the respective supplier proposal.
    Let me know if this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Finding open sales order line items

    Hello,
    First time poster and new to SAP so here goes:
    I am trying to find a better method for finding our open sales order line items.
    So far I am joining VBAK-VBUP-VBAP in that order and my scan logic is for sales document type (vbak-auart) of ZOR and ZDEW with an overall status (vbup-gbsta) of A or B.
    This logic use to work but now all it does is timeout after 60 minutes.
    VBAK has 6,766,828 total records in it
    VBUP has 16,431,117 total records in it
    VBAP has 12.9 million total records
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Hi Randy,
    For your requirement VBAK&VBUPtables are enough.
    Firstly you can read the table VBAK where AUART = 'ZOR' or 'ZDEW'.
    After this you will get all the sales orders with the order types ZOR or ZDEW.
    For these sales orders you can read VBUP tables.
    In this table there is a field <i><b>delivery status</b></i>.
    If this filed value is <i><b>C</b></i> then that line item delivery is completed.
    if it is not equal to <i><b>C</b></i> then those line items are open sales order line
    items.
    Thanks,

  • Doubt about report FBL5N of screen field:Open items and Cleared items

    hi
    i know the report FBL5N is use DDF LDB and the report work flow is BSID->BKFP->BSEG
    but i don't know to differentiate Open Items and Cleared items in this report.
    Open items and Cleared items stand for a field flag in these table (BSID,BKFP,BSEG )? if true the field is?
    or they must be calc in program ? if true what about calc rules?
    waiting for help! thank you!

    Hi,
    Here is the difference in Open Items and Cleared Items.
    In FI first the document is Open (when it is posted) so the entry is made in table BSID. Once the document is cleared, it will move from BSID to BSAD. And for Cleared item you will see Clearing Document no and Clearing date values updated (these are blank when the item is open).
    The only difference in Open and Cleared is via Clearing Document and Clearing Date. If the values are present, it means document is cleared.
    Hope this helps.
