Reconciliation account adjustments - F101

Hi Gurus,
I have changed my customer reconciliation account, i have proceeded that way:
1. change reconciliation account in master data from 823000 to 829000
2. t. code obbw : rec 8230/adj 8290 and rec 8290/adj 8320
3. run t. code F101
4.SM35 process batch input
>> I am getting errors: Account 823000 in company code 1000 cannot be directly posted to
Could you please help me on this point? Why do I have this message?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This program performs any adjustment postings required due to changes to the reconciliation accounts or G/L accounts. The items from the old reconciliation accounts are assigned to the new accounts. Since you cannot post to the reconciliation accounts directly, the postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts (see the following figure,(3)). These adjustment accounts should be displayed in the balance sheet with the relevant reconciliation account. The postings are then reversed after the financial statements have been created (see the following figure, (4)).
Refer the picture in my previous reply
EXPLANATION
=============
The Understanding is as follows:
For example you have one line item in your Customer with old reconciliation account. 1000 GBP
One item with new reconciliation account with 2000 GBP.
New reconciliation will not have any problem, as these must have been posted to new reconciliation account.
When it comes to old reconciliation account, you cannot make direct posting to a new reconciliation account, we have created an adjustment account for old reconciliation account.
The postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts and once you have presented financial statements, you will reverse the entries.
In that case, base on the documentation link I have provided, the entries being posted by you are correct.
Please let me know if you need further clarifications.
Regards,
Ravi

  • Changing vendor reconciliation account

    Hi Experts
    There are around 1500 vendors for whom we entered wrong reconciliation account. There would be around 20000 line items (uploaded line items, open line items and cleared line items).
    Now I want to know what would be the best practice for correcting mistake.
    1. Do we need to create new vendor master and transfer balances to new balances to vendor master using LSMW program
    2. Do we need to change reconciliation account and run F101 every month end for next 8-10months unless all opening balance is knocked off.
    Please let me know impact of above two options considering volume and reporting.
    Meenu

    If option 2 is acceptable to business, then I would suggest to go with second option,  SAP allows to modify Reconciliation account with respective configuration change at master data setup.  However, I am not sure, how system would react in following situation, please do a POC for same:
    After recon account is changed from 1000 to 1001 at respective vendor master record, and you are processing a payment for against open item, which was recorded with 1000 recon account.  In this case, just double check, whether system is able bring open items for clearing and also check it is adjusting against 1000 recon account.

  • Change Customer Reconciliation Account

    I need some assistance in verifying the steps for changing Recon account for a group of customers.
    Scenario.  We have a group of customers (about 60) who have postings to them.  Some of the posting are open and some are cleared.  We need to change the reconciliation account on these customers.  We are running under ECC 6.0
    I know how to change the reconciliation account on the customer.  That is not a problem.  The problem comes with handling the open and cleared items already posted to these customers.
    I believe that at some point in time I need to run trans F101.  In order to run this transaction I need to define an adjustment account using transaction OBBW.  One of my questions here is do I define this as an adjustment account for both the old and the new reconciliation account or for just the old reconciliation account.
    Now most of my questions relate to:
    1.     What are the steps required in order to run F101(FAGLF101 for 6.0)?
    2.     Is there something that I will need to do each month or will this be a one time situation only for me?
    3.     Will/are there any special steps required for clearing the open items once the reconciliation accounts have been changed?
    4.     Is there anything else (any gotcha’s) that I should be aware of?
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    the thread you sent me answers part of my questions (namely the fact that I need multiple recon adjustment accounts and the basic steps for executing F101 (FAGLF101).
    However, with regards to my other questions, here is what I am interpreting from the thread.
      1.  Is there something that I will need to do each month or will this be a one time situation only for me?
    <b>Assumed answer:</b>  I will need to run this every month until the balance of the old recon account for the customers in question is zero.
      2. Will/are there any special steps required for clearing the open items once the reconciliation accounts have been changed?
    <b>Assumed answer:</b>  Apparently not.  I will clear the old items (posted but not cleared at the time I changed the recon account) from the old recon account; clear new items (posted and cleared after I change the recon account) for the customer for the new recon account.
    Am I correct on this?
    Any additional help that you can provide me will be greatly appreciated.

  • Change in Reconciliation Account of Vendor/Customer

    Hi Experts,
    Can any one please tell me the scenarios where in we change the reconciliation account for the customer and vendor. If we change, what are the precautions we have to take in terms of transferring balance or open items from old reconciliation account to new reconciliation account?
    Thanks,
    SravanK

    Hi,
                   There is no problem to change the account number in the vendor or customer master data, that is :
    All Document Items that were created in the old account will be posted in the same old account when you have a payment posting, compensations, etc.
    All document created after the change will be posted in the new account as well as the payment postings, compensations and others. 
    The system will separate the postings in accordance with the moment at the documents were created. 
    You can do a test in the development client before you do the change in the production. 
    For example :-
    You can create a new reconciliation account because you want the G/L accounts to separate out sales. Just switched the setting in Customer Master and off you go. SAP will recognized the old account for the old postings and used the new account for any new postings. 
    You should run balance sheet adjustment program after any reconciliation account change. 
    The system performs any adjustments required due to the change of reconciliation accounts or G/L accounts. The items from the old reconciliation accounts are allocated to the new accounts. 
    Since you cannot post to the reconciliation accounts directly, the postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts. 
    These adjustment accounts should be displayed along with the relevant reconciliation account in the balance sheet. The postings are then reversed after the balance sheet has been created. 
    The program for sorting the payables and receivables makes the necessary adjustments automatically. This means that you have to define the adjustment account numbers and the posting keys for these postings in the system. 
    If you purchase and install the FI-LC Consolidation application and have bought up a previous customer or vendor (thus also taking on his/her payables and receivables), please refer to the note in the report documentation on changed reconciliation accounts. To define the account numbers, select the activity Define adjustment accounts for changed reconciliation accounts in the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Implementation Guide.
    You should only run this program if your new reconciliation account is classified differently from the original in your FS. e.g.. AR to Intercompany accounts. It will just reclassify the existing balance. The line items will not be transferred. If not then no need to run the program at all.

  • Customer Reconciliation Account Change

    Hello Friends,
    Our client had a requirement of changing the recon account for customer.
    Customer A (recon account 100) already had line items posted from last 2 years, these line items are cleared also.
    Now business wants the recon account for this customer A to be G/L#200. Along with that the reporting in balance sheet for this customer is required to be in recon GL 200.
    In order to achieve this we did the following:
    1. We made the balance of the customer account zero by transfereing the balance to temperory GL account. (Accounting document # 1200001 created)
    2. Changed the recon account in customer master from 100 to 200.
    3. Made reversal entry, i.e., transfered the balance from temperory GL account to customer account. (Accounting document # 1200002 created)
    4. In balance sheet now the balance is transfered to recon account 200.
    But now there is a problem, the customer statement has two open items (documents 1200001 & 1200002) when we are clearing these open items in the customer the impact created earlier with step 3 is getting reversed i.e., the balance from recon account 200 is getting nullified and its going back to recon account 100.
    We just want to clear the customer open item how can we do this?
    Please suggest.
    Regards

    Hi,
    you cannot change reconciliation Account for old Line Items. The SAP provides transaction code F101 to define that but it uses extra accounting to adjust balance sheet groups.
    The only way is reverse clearing document by FBRA. Go to F-32 and clear the invoice against a new invoice with same a mount and posting date. Afterwards you clear this new invoice (Acc 200) and you will have your balance sheet equalized.
    regards

  • Change Reconciliation account - URGENT !!!

    Hi,
    Request you to please let me know what is the detailed process of maintaining the balance sheet adjustment account in OBBW and then running the SAPF101 report to allocate the balances in old recon account to new recon account.
    This is very urgent so any help right away would be highly appreciated.
    (If any one has solved such a problem recently, kindly share your personal number/email ID so that it can be discussed offline)
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    We did change the Vendor Reconciliation account after posting the transaction data. The options are as under:
    1. If no transaction data is posted to Customer / Vendor account - it is simple and the reconciliation can be changed in the Master record.
    2. If the transaction data is already posted and if you want to change the reconciliation account in the master record, you can still change it. Here, the transaction data already posted will remain the old reconciliation. As and when the old open items are cleared (incoming / outgoing payment) it gets nullified and all the new postings will be reflected in the new reconciliation account.
    3. If the Balance is not zero, we can change the reconciliation Account, but we have to maintain a clearing Account / adjustment in Configuration (Transaction code OBBW) and then execute the transaction F101. While executing this transaction select the check box "Change Rec Account". After executing this transaction, this will move the balance to the new reconciliation account.
    Thanks

  • Change Reconciliation Account

    Hello,
    The user ask me to change Reconciliation accounts for some vendors and customers.
    I've done the following steps:
    1/ Set the u201CReconciliation Accountu201D field in the vendor master as optional field (customizing)
    2/ Define Adjustment Accounts for Changed Reconciliation Accounts (customizing)
    3/ Run Balance Sheet Adjustment Program - F101(FAGLF101 in ECC6)
    But, there is no posting, and nothing happened.
    My questions :
          - What FAGLF101 is supposed to do exactly ?
          - The vendor/customers can have open items before executing FAGLF101 ?
    Thanks you

    Hi Tarek
    I hope you have actually changed your Recon. account
    You can change the reconciliation Account in the Vendor or customer Master provided the field Status in your configuration allows changing the Reconciliation Account. Also, it is ideal that you change the reconciliation Account when the balance on the Reconciliation Account is Zero.
    To clear the reconciliation Account one option is that you create a new open item managed GL Account and use Transaction FB05 to clear each open item in the vendor Account one at a Time and post on the new open item clearing Account. Then change the reconciliation Account in the master data and then again use FB05 to post the transactions back on the vendor Account one at a time.

  • Vendor - change of reconciliation account

    Hello
    I have search a read a lot of articles about this problem, but unfortuantely without success.
    My problem is that some vendors shall be have another reconciliation account, so I have changed the account in vendor master data. I know that this have no influence on existing vendor items, but will it be possible to change the reconciliation account for existing records via F101. I mean that the old reconciliation account will balance to 0 and instead be listed under the new reconciliation account?
    I have tried to execute F101, but without success. The records on the vendor account is still linked to the old rec account. Is it possible to do anything automatically?
    Best regards

    Hello Søren Kirch,
    The below two stepped approach may let you solve the issue.
    a) Change the Reconciliation Accounts either using the TCode XK07 or by the Function Module VENDOR_CHANGE_ACCOUNTGROUP in bulk
    b) Transfer either the Open Items (Item by Item) or the Balances accumulated on the Old Recon Account to the New Recon Account using the Program SAPF101. Ofcourse, this might need a little bit of customizing in OBBW. (The Transaction Key 'A00' has to be configured to determine the Adjustment Account for the original recon account and also the Posting Keys)
    Though I have not done this myself, I believe and wish that this will work for you.
    With Regards

  • Posting between customer reconciliation account

    Dear Experts,
    We have wrong posting in Customer account XXX (with reconcl.account A) then we should reclass/transfer posting from the wrong reconciliation account A to reconciliation account B (customer YYY).
    Which transaction code to be used?Is it possible to do mass reclass customer account?
    Pls advice.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    You can change reconciliation account in customer master data but you can't in old documents from that one. You just can creat new documents with recnciliation account updated.
    SAP Standard provides F101 tcode for adjustment. It uses anothers accounts to manage the differences between the documents but your document won't get account change.
    The only way to change reconciliantion acc in old titles is reversing and recreating (or clearing old document and opening a new one)
    Notice: chage reconciliaiton accounting in master record and check the warning message. Take a look on that instructions.

  • Change the Reconciliation account

    Dear Friends,
    Can we change Reconciliation accounts in Customer/Vendor master records? If we can, so what about the old reconciliation account data or balance? How do we capture data from old reconciliation account to new reconciliation account?
    Explain in details......
    I appreciate your help.....

    Hi Teja,
    You can change the reconciliation Account in the Vendor or customer Master provided the field Status in your configuration allows changing the Reconciliation Account. Also, it is ideal that you change the reconciliation Account when the balance on the Reconciliation Account is Zero.
    If the Balance is not zero, then also you can change the reconciliation Account. In such a case you need to maintain a Clearing Account in Configuration and then execute the Transaction F101 with the check box "Change Rec Account" under the Parameters TAB in the transaction F110.
    This transaction will move the balance to the new reconciliation account,

  • Modify Reconciliation Account of Customer Master Data

    Hi,
    If you do not have data for the customer account, you can change directly.
    But, if you already have data posted, this is the procedure of changing recon account, if you have data.
    All Document Items that were created in the old account will be posted in the same old account when you have a payment posting, compensations, etc.
    All document created after the change will be posted in the new account as well as the payment postings, compensations and others. 
    The system will separate the postings in accordance with the moment at the documents were created.

  • Vendor Reconciliation account change

    Hi All,
    We want to change the Reconciliation account in the Vendor Master. The vendor has postings to it right now. We want that all the existing postings should be transferred to the new recon account line item wise and the new postings will go to the new recon account.
    I can confirm that transaction F101 (and its customizing settings) does not work in such a case.
    Please suggest some approach so that this can be effected.
    Regards,
    Aditya

    F101 is not a program to transfer from old recon account to new recon account.
    This is only a year end program as described clearly in the below mentioned document.
    This program performs any adjustment postings required due to changes to the reconciliation accounts or G/L accounts. The items from the old reconciliation accounts are assigned to the new accounts. Since you cannot post to the reconciliation accounts directly, the postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts (see the following figure,(3)). These adjustment accounts should be displayed in the balance sheet with the relevant reconciliation account. The postings are then reversed after the financial statements have been created (see the following figure, (4)).

    The reconciliation account can still be changed. However there is some configuration changes needs to be done.
    A. Set the u201CReconciliation Accountu201D field in the vendor master as optional field.
    Transaction code: OB23 (IMG)
    Change both Accounting and Centrally part.
    Set the status of u201Creconciliation accountu201D field to optional entry from display only
    Next move on to:
    B. Define Adjustment Accounts for Changed Reconciliation Accounts
    Transaction Code: OBBW
    Finally move to,
    C. Run Balance Sheet Adjustment Program
    Transaction Code: F101
    Hope this helps you.

    Hi
    Created a New GL Account for Adjustment Postings
    Changed the Vendor Master Data with regard to NEW Reconciliation Account
    Updated the FI Auto Postings Configuration: Trxn: OBBW (Transaction Key: A00: Transfer postings: changed recon. acct) as under:
    Old Reconciliation Account = Adjust Acct xyz
    New Reconciliation Account = Adjust Acct xyz
    Run F101, with the intention, that the Balances / Open Items from OLD Recon would be MOVED to the NEW Recon.
    On running F101 and then Clicking on Postings, I got several entries, whereof none showed the impact on the NEW Reconciliation Account.
    Lastly I ran F.01 Balance Sheet, and here, still the OLD Recon appeared.
