Reasons of open items.

Dear Folks,
We are migrating from classic GL to New GL (ECC 6.0). We have hundreds of thousands of open items which are pending and we need to clear those before migration activities.
My question is - What could be the cause of such a huge number of open items? In my opinion it could be due to few of the inconsistencies like Balances in Local currency flag, account currency, open item managed flag and Tax category etc.
Any other ideas comes to your mind besides the above, please let me know. It would be of great help so that I can capture it in my blue print.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Abhijit

Hi,
looks like th open items have not been cleared (periodically). So first check would be if automatic clearing is done and if yes, why its not clearing the open items (F.13).
Check this one also: How to clear GR/IR account when criteria is not matching

Possible to clear vendor open item against already posted payment document?

Hi
Can you advise if it is possible to clear an open item against already posted payment/clearing doc? Here is the background to the scenario:
An invoice was posted with transaction FB60. This was subsequently picked up in the payment run F110 and cleared by payment document number 200005678. The item went to the bank on the paymnet file and was paid out to the vendor. The transaction reference, which appeared on the incoming bank statemnet was the payment document number 200005678.
Subsequently it was discovered that the original invoice should have been posted with reference to a PO using MIRO. The requirement now is to reverse the paymnet documnet 200005678 in SAP, then reverse the document that was posted using FB60. After this the invoice will be posted using MIRO. This will create an open item on the vendor account.
This item will not be piad out again. Therefore the requirement is to try clear that open item against the previously posted payment document 200005678.
Is there any way to clear this vendor open item against the originally posted payment document 200005678?? Or any other advice on how this scenario can be handled in SAP?
Thank for your help.
Mike

Hi,
I tried that option in our test system. I ran FBRA and entered Paymnet Documnet Number (+Clearing Doc Number), Company Code, Fiscal Year.
Then chose menu option Clearing -> Reset Cleared Items.
The system pops up a window asking for a reversal reason and reversal date. I use 01 and posting date of today.
The system now posts another cleared document. That document places the invoice as an open item on the vendor account. It does not place the Payment Document as an open item on the account.
When I go to F-44 only the open vendor invoice is showing there. There is no open paymnet document.
Is there perhaps some configuration setting that stops the placement of the paymnet document as an open item when reset?
Thanks for your help again.

URGENT---Automatic payment run-Vendor open item clearing

When I run the payment program, it ran without any error, however, the vendor account was not cleared. The balance in GL and Vendor account remains the original amounts. And the Vendor line items which were supposed to be cleared thru F110, are now showing as Open items.
please give me the TCODES to look in.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Sharath

Dear Sharath,
To check whether your payment run has actually generated any payment document or not, please follow the following steps:-
(1) Go to transaction SE16/ SE16N and table REGUH, give the "payment run ID", "run date" and "Proposal Indicator as blank".
     It should show the payment document.
(2) If (1) above show payment document, then go to table REGUP and check the invoices paid.
   If invoices are there in REGUP, then there might be some issue in the payment document updation in the system which you can check via transaction SM12. (For this just check in table REGUV, whether payment documents created and posted are equal or not for the payment run.)
(3) if (1) do not show any payment document, that means payment run has not made any payment.
    In this case, you create a new payment run and in the parameters select the error logs display also and in free selection give the document number you are expecting to be paid off by the payment run. This might help you to know the reason of non payment by cheking the proposal log/ payment run log.
I hope that this should assist you

Gaurav

Display between open items and cleared items in FS10N

hello all,
I have the following problem.
When I go with FS10N with double click on the initial balance of an G/L account I get the message:
"A large number of line items were selected
Recommendation: Only display open items
Do you want to display open items only?
Yes or NO?"
If I click yes, I get the open items only and if I click no, I get the cleared items. The strange thing is that I get same line items in both reports. For example, I can see same line item, one time as cleared (when I click no) and one time as open (when I click yes).
Do you know the reason for this? For both reports I click on initial balance, so key date should be 01.01.2009, if I run FS10N for fiscal year 2009. Right?
The user is confused in this situation because he is not sure if the item is cleared or not.
thanks for quick reply!
Daniel Nicula.

If you click yes, you get the open items only , but if I click no, you don't get the cleared items only. With NO, you get ALL items.

Open Items in GR/IR Account Internal Order wise

Hi,
Is it possible to view Open Items in GR/IR Account Internal Order wise?. We are assigning Internal Order in Goods Receipt and want to view Open items for the particular Order.
Regards,
Amanullah

Thanks for your response.
I already review the accounting and is pretty fine.
The system creates document type WE and RE for the Goods Receipt and Invoice Receipt.
Unfortunately in transaction FBLN the system shows as a Open Item, and honestly I don't know the reason.
I really appreciate any help for this issue.

F-44 Clear Vendor Open Items

Hi Guru's,
We are trying to manually clear some vendor open items using t-code F-44. For some reason we are not able to find the invoice so that we can clear when we go to F-44. However, if you go to FBL1N and pull the vendor open items as of 7/1/09 you can see the invoice listed there as an open item.
Can someone please help me on this?
Best Regards,
Noopers

Assuming the vendor document is not cleared there could be two reasons why the document is not in F-44
- Wrong company code
- A special G/L indicator - Document is a special GL document and in F-44 selection screen indicator is missing.
Try additional selection -document number.

Open items in FBL1N.

Hi Experts,
We have set up the payment request settings (Spl. GL indicator u2018Pu2019) in D01. We made a payment against a MIRO invoice & paid through APP (Automatic payment program). However when try to clear the payment with the vendor invoice using F-44, those two lines are not getting displayed whereas those lines are shown as open items in FBL1N.
Could you also try and help us understand what could have been the reason?
Regards
Aravind

Hi Experts,
We made the payment for this invoice through a payment request (f-59).
Now that we already made the payment, we want to clear the invoice and the payment (two lines shown in the screen image which I hv sent).
We donu2019t want to pay the invoice now. There is no issue with APP

Hello!
Please check if someone has activated the OpenFI/BTE 1650 in your
system.
Within this BTE you can change parts of the internal table where th
data that should get displayed is in.
Please review the BTE, or if after you deactivate it the line item
display works ok.
In other cases this message can be caused due to inconsistencies, for example if ( for some reason ) there are
entries in BKPF, BSID or BSIK or BSIS and nt in BSEG. Please run the reports below to check inconsistencies:
1) SAPF190 as per note 86067 if you have only the Classic GL active
or
2)TFC_COMPARE_VZ (tcode: FAGLF03) if they are using the NewGL.

Difference between vendor open items and vendor balance

Hi all,
I have the following problem: When I display open items for a vendor with a special general ledger code, it happens that for some vendors, the total of these open items do not equal the vendor balance concerning this special GL code.
Or in other words, the sum of BSIK and BSAK entries are not equal to the totals in table LFC3.
I identified SAP standard program RFEWA003, that gives me exactly these differences, but how can I correct the entry in LFC3?
The difference only occurs in the current fiscal year and is in the carryforward amount of LFC3. I checked the totals of debits and credits for the current year which are 100% correct.
Our last fiscal year was shortened (only 11 months). Could this be the reason?
How to correct LFC3 entries? Any correction program existing that is not related to Euro conversion?
Thanks for your appreciated help,
andie.m
Edited by: andie.m on Jul 2, 2009 2:49 PM

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your answer, but I tried already the carry forward. It just says there is nothing to be treated.
I thought there might be a special carry forward transaction for special general ledger accounts, but it does not seem.
Any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Open items can not be cleared FZ326

Hello,
I arrived on a project and learnt a former member who left created a huge issue in production. As he deleted a parallel currency depreciation area and the parallel currency type 30 in FI itself, we are currently unable to clear any open item in one company code (Internal error: doc.balance not zero / comp.code 0071 vendor XXXXXXX customer) ==> message FZ326.
SAP recommends sending a SAP consultant for 2 days to solve the issue (by deleting parallel currency values in open items to be able to clear). So we try to find a solution first.
I tried reactivating the parallel currency and recreating the dep. area to solve the problem, currently I sent this to simulation environment but now I am facing an issue with IO settlement to AUC.
The internal order has been settled to AUC without depreciation area 32 (the one for parallel currency). Now if I try to settle the remaining value on the AuC I get message:
Message no. AAPO104: Data inconsistency: Parallel depr. area is not posted
On the other hand if I try cancelling the first settlement to create new asset and AuC I get another error:
Document balance cannot be distributed when settlement is reversed
Message no. AW751
So I think I am kind of stuck here !
Does anyone have a solution at this point (activating depreciation area 32 in AuC and final asset / removing parallel currency values in documents to be able to clear in production / reversing settlement to be able to post to asset with area 32...)
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Benoit

Hello Schneider,
Your description consists of many things. Probably, I could not correlate the FZ326 error with the ones in Asset accounting.
However, since you are working in a real-time scenario, possibly you could explain better.
Nevertheless, check if the transaction type is limited to certain depreciation areas. If there is such a limitation, add the missing depreciation areas for the transaction type. Check if the asset that is being posted manages all these depreciation areas.
Some information on the parallel currencies :
- The par. dep. area must have the same settings as the original area (e.g. allowing APC).
- The par. dep. area must set for identical values take over.
- The par. dep. area must set for identical parameter take over.
- The par. dep. area must be assigned to the currency type which is defined as parallel in FI.
- The par. dep. area must be activated in the asset class (TCode OAYZ)
- If the par. dep. area is a new area in a productive environment the new area must be created for all existings assets in the company code.
When you follow these steps correctly you will not get error AAPO104 anymore. For more information, please also check SAP note 67688 about activating Depreciation Area.
The reason for error AW751 could be that the exchange rate table would have been changed since the settlement was run.
The program expects that there will be the same currency rates in the settlement AND the settlement reversal. The exchange rate table can be seen using transaction OB08.
To correct the error, to process a reversal for a settlement done earlier in the month with a different exchange rate, the only solution is to change the exchange rate table. It would be possible that a temporary change could be done when no one else is in the system, you can run the reversal and immediately change the table back to the state as before.
I hope this information helps you.
Best regards,
Suresh Jayanthi.

Clearing GL with Open Item Management

Dear Experts.
A liability GL (Remuneration Gl account) has been created by the client in the system without open item management. After that several entries has been posted in that GL account. Few months back they have activated Open Item Management for that GL using a program.Now they want to clear few entries in that GL account and while clearing the GL in F-03 system is displaying an error
Document splitting: Items for clearing 1000/9300000661/2012/001 not found
Message no. GLT0002
Diagnosis
Document splitting cannot perform clearing because it was not possible to find complete splitting information on the items to be cleared (company code, document number, fiscal year, item).
System Response
Clearing cannot be performed and the document cannot be posted.
Procedure
Exclude the affected item from clearing.
It may be that this item was not posted with active document splitting. In this case, this item or document would have to be migrated.
This error occurs due to the Open Item Management activation in the GL after entries were posted.
Now the client wants to clear few entries in this GL account for which Open Item Management was activated recently. The client is not willing to create a new GL and post transfer entries. Is there any other possibility to clear this GL account.
Please provide your valuable suggestions.
Regards,
Ramprasath

Hi,
The reason for the error GLT0002 is that there is no values for
document in tables FAGL_SPLINFO and FAGL_SPLINFO_VAL
Regarding the clearing process in the FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP:
The clearing of the 'old' items is the standard process in the report.
Here is the part from the documentation:
(Please review the documentation on FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP via se38
enter in FAGL_SWITCH_TO_OPEN_ITEM view documentation)
The system then activates open item management and clears all existing
open items. After this clearing, you have the option of having the
system repost the amounts that were initially written off.
This is done to start newly with the OI management once it is activated.
So if you want to activate the OI management for an other account in
your system, please take into account that the clearing should NOT be
opened again in standard.
I would request you to please read the documentation in SE38 for FAGL_SWITCH_TO_OPEN_ITEM
and please check whether all criteria's are fulfilled or not.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Eugene

FBL3N-cleared item visible in both open item and cleared item.

Hi
We have posted a line item to Bank clearing account-open item.
                        XXXX a/c
                             To bank clearing account
Then we posted another entry of reconciliation
                     Bank clearing account
                           To main bank
The we went to f-03 and cleared the bank clearing account.
However i could still see both the entries in open item in fbl3n and also in cleared items.How this be possible when the accounts are cleared i could see it in open item too.Please suggest.

Hi,
One more reason for this is that you have posted ur bank reconsilation entry in the future date.
See by default SAP will always derives current date to your FBL3N selection screen in the open item key date field, so when you pass ur recon entry at a future date, system will show this line items as open items as on current date.
check the open items by removing date in the key date field in FBL3N selection screen
Where as cleared item selection there will not be any date derivation by the system, so system considers all the documents irrespective of their posting dates.
Please ask for further issues.
Thanks,
Srinu.

Cheque printed but fi document not created (line item shows as open item)

Hi,
Problem Description :
F110
In payment run Posting order is not matching it shows 11 generated and 10 completed .
Due to this, document number 5100316279( i.e open item) was not cleared but generated a cheque 809635 for 58.75
The same document number 5100316279got cleared on 01.07.2008 ; payment run and generated another cheque 809643 for same amount 58.75
To summarize due to a system error we ended in a double payment to the vendor.
Request you help us to solve this issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
The reason why you have more documents generated than completed is that update terminations on the executing the payment run.It means some documents were not posted in the data base. You could find the terminated update via using SM13.
Here is some information saying what you have to do when this happens:
You need to analyse the update record data to decide what has to be done with the update records. In order to analyse the record data, use transaction SM13 for terminated updates. By double-clicking on the terminated update records, the updates modules are displayed. By double-clicking on the function module 'POST_DOCUMENT' with error status you can see in whick line item the clearing has failed. Please use
'Goto => Display data'. In table T_BKPF and T_BSEG are the data of the entered document. Important are CPU-Date (T_BKPF-CPUDT) and Time (T_BKPF-CPUTM). In table T_AUSZ1 is the the information which line item
(BELNR, BUKRS, GJAHR, BUZEI) should be cleared with this update record.
Afterwards, execute FB03 for this document and determine the clearing document BSEG-AUGBL for this line item. Analysing this clearing document with data of the terminated update records you have to decide what has to be done with this update record.
For repeating the update task it is necessary that the clearing of the Open item is reset with transaction FBRA. Without resetting the other Clearing you will always get error F1 805 in the function module 'POST_DOCUMENT'.
So can you please analyse the data concerning the update termination. Depending on the investigation, you have to decide, whether the data has to be re-entered or whether the update task can be deleted or whether the clearing has to be reset and the task has to be repeated.
With regards,
V.Krishnamoorthy

Open Item available in FBL5N but not in F-28 & F-32 - URGENT.

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem in customer open items. I am able to see open item in FBL5N but while generating document in F-28, this document no is not available.
Please let me know what are the reasons at the earliest.
Thanks in advance for the same.
Regards.

Please check if dates are ok, multiple cocd is not present,
also in F-28 only one document type is not selected, even document date , posting dates can be different , which is not available in FBL5N, anyother fields if selected, also currency, FBL5N may have multiple currencies.
Also note when in FBL5N
Selection: Normal Items
There are two things
Items are displayed from documents that have neither a <b>special document status</b>, nor do they portray a special <b>G/L account transaction</b>.
so in F-28, if you don't give special G/L account it will take all also note special document status.
you can probably down both list and check one-to-one in excel and let us know what exactly the difference is. what is document type of that transaction
Regards
Jitesh

Please let me know what could be reason for the same
Thnx

- Check some table fields in the missing documents using Transaction SE16. The following conditions must exist for the missing document numbers in question -
BSIS-XOPVW = X (Indicator: Open item management, only for G/L accounts)
BSEG-XOPVW = X (Indicator: Open item management)
BSEG-AUGBL = space (clearing document number)
BSEG-DISBN = space (discount document number)
BKPF-BSTAT = space (document status)
BKPF-XSTOV = space (indicator reversal flag)
REGUS/REGUP -> see below
Look at table REGUS using Transaction SE16. Enter the account (KONKO) in the selection screen. If you selected an entry, use the information Run date (LAUFD) and Identification (LAUFI) in Transaction F110 (payment program). Check the status of the payment run. If only the proposal was carried out, the documents proposed for payment are blocked for other clearing transactions. It is only when you delete the proposal run that the items are taken into account again in the clearing transaction.
- Check Note 136754 - F-03, F-32, F-44, F-28 missing open items (link below)
[Note 136754|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=136754]
