Recon Account vs. Open Item Account for G/L Setup

I have traditionally always set up A/R as a recon account in ISU because of the mass transactions on FI-CA side that merge to one summary posting to the FI-GL side. I have always set up all clearing and clarification accounts as open item accounts so that manual adjustments may be made accordingly as cash accounts typically have.
However, my client wants me to set up the clearing and clarification up as recon accounts. Does anyone out there see an issue with me performing this request?
Thank you.

Hello,
When we run standard program RFSEPA02, we get a waring message and will not run the program. To over come we have to copy the program to Z program and bypass the warning message.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks,

Is it necessary to select check box open item management for reconciliation accounts ???
for ex; sundry debtors, sundry creditors .
If so may i know the reason.
Bcz all subledger accounts are automatically maintained as open item accounts ..so is it again necessary to select this check box in recon. accounts.
thanks and regards.

Hi
System will not allow to save with OIM selected for Recon account.
For all sub ledgers OIM will be unchecked.

Open item management for gl accounts

hi,
the business requirement is to manage all their accounts on open item basis , what is the impact of maintaining accounts not recommended to be managed on open item basis.
pls advice.
thanks

You can not manage recon account and PL a/c with OI management. The issue here is occupying the storage space and the system performance over a period of time since OI managed accounts will use more storage space than the line item manged. OI management is ideally suited for those accounts for which you set off the Dr and Cr items.

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.

Cristiano

"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.

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).

Change Open Item Management for GL accounts

Hi All,
Good Day.
I would like to asked if you have any idea on how to solve the error we encountered upon opening our open item management for our GL? The error is Line item total does not tally with account balance. Message no. FH099.
We have a Z* program customized from program RFSEPA02, we test it out in our QA and it was working fine. Even if the GLs has balance in QA.
But when we transfer it in Production, we encountered this kind of error.
Any idea how to solve it, i tried reading other questions on this forum with the same error, but i cant find any solution specific for this error.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi,
See the Note 203329 - RFSEPA02 generates FH099 alth. balance = item total
Symptom
Report RFSEPA02 generates the error message FH099: 'Line item total does not tally with account balance' although the item total tallies with the balance and SAPF190 does not show any differences.
Additional key words
RFSEPA01, FIINCON
Cause and prerequisites
Open item management has already been activated once and items were cleared so that cleared items exist in the system for the account. These are not taken into account during the check of the item total with the account balance and cause the error message.
Solution
Reset the clearing transactions using Transaction FBRA.
Thanks & Regards,

Open item account line with flow type has to contain a partner

For ANRVCN , posting supported is " Only periodic" and for TRRVCN " All"
Please guide as to where I need to check and correct.

Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted
Message no. FAGL_POST_SERVICE012
Diagnosis
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
account is to be used for closing processes in non-leading ledgers,
deactivate the Open Item Management indicator in the company code data
for the G/L account.

FB50L error: Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted

Dear All
I need your help.
I am trying to do some adjustment to GR/IR clearing account in Non-leading ledger. Since for this account open item management is ticked, I am getting an error message 'Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted'.
Now I have checked the forum to find some solution...but does not fit my requirement.
I cannot create a new account. I cannot change the existing account. I tried OBA5, but the message persists.
I also checked the notes.
Appreciate a response on how the post to open item managed accounts in non-leading ledger.
Regards
Kunaal

Hi Kunaal
Usually, OIM accounts are not allowed for Non Leading Ledger postings... With EhP4 or 5, i guess, a new feature is added in GL Master whereby you can specify that a GL will be OIM for Leading Ledger and Not OIM for a Non Leading Ledger

Error- Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted

Hi,
Can't we post to a GL, which is open item managed, in a non-leading ledger (statutory ledger)? We get this error when we try to post an entry, in the statutory ledger, to a GL that is open item managed.
Can anybody explain this, please?
Regards,
Mike

This is due to a design with the new GL.
In the new G/L accounting, when you use a particular ledger or ledger group, you can no longer make a direct ledger specific posting to accounts managed on an open item basis or to accounts with an account type not equal to 'S'.
You need to do posting with ledger group blank, which updates all the ledgers. The idea is, for open item accounts, all the ledgers should be in sync. for open item accounts IFRS and Local GAAP values are never different.
If you are doing this to do some correction posting while doing year end posting or migration for example. (A typical example is when an account is made open item managed at a later date). You need to change temporarily message control using transaction SE91 to force ledger specific postings to OI accounts

Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted in ASKB

Hi Gurus,
I have the error FAGL_POST_SERVICE012 'Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted' when i run the transaction ASKB. The very strange thing is that in table APERB_ITEMS for this company code there isn't any record. My questions are:
1. The ASKB posts only if the APERB_ITEMS is populated?
2. If yes, Why the ASKB wants to create postings on this company code?
3. If no, which are the logic conditions that include a asset in the ASKB execution?
4. If the logic is correct, how i can to run the ASKB on OI accounts?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Emanuele

Hi ,
I believe you know why do you run transaction code ASKB if not please see below
The report evaluates all asset transactions since the last run. Unlike the periodic depreciation posting program, the APC posting run is not tied to a certain accounting period. It generates one document per posting period and depreciation area. That means that asset values are summarized for various account groups in one document. Document number assignment is external. You have to enter the document type in Customizing for Asset Accounting.
There are various possible ways of posting APC values:
To an account set within the original company code
To an account set of an alternative company code
To an account set directly in a special ledger
The account set can be determined from a different depreciation area.
Derived depreciation areas can be treated as real depreciation areas. This means that the system posts APC differences rather than special reserves, as was the case up to now.
During a test run, the system completes all accounting checks (for example, budgetary control of objects belonging to Funds Management).
While doing above system reads and update table APERB_ITEMS . If you look to Program for ASKB is RAPERB2000 and if you take your ABAper help to under the coding he will tell you that is program use APERB_ITEMS to update and read.
MANY THANKS
