Subsequent Activation of Open Item Management

[Former Member]

We are on ECC 6.0 Version.

While creating a GL account during Go Live, open item management was not activated ( line item display is active ).

Now we need to convert the same account to open item management activated.

But the GL already contains few records which also need to be converted as open items.

Also New GL functionality is activated for the company code ( Document Spliting based on Business Area ).

How to convert the existing as well as new items to open items in the GL ?

Whether additing Development Pack 3 after 3 months of GO Live will affect any customisation ?

I was thinking abt the same. But the said account is bank account and it has got clearing entries attached. Have you tried Enhancement Pack 3 ?

[Former Member]

Is there any workaround ? The said Account is required for Bank Reco FF67

Note 175960 Also Says that

However, in ERP 6. 0 Enhancement Package 3 provides the option of subsequent activation of open item management for G/L accounts (also with activated document splitting). However, this no longer uses the process described here, but transaction FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP. For further details, see the documentation for this transaction.

Whether this will affect current settings ?

how to do this ?

Hi

I have faced this issue for almost 120 Gls. I strongly advise you to create a new GL account and assign it in appropriate place. Then you transfer the old items to the new GL, which have been created with Open item managed. Create a BDC to transfer the items. This is the best way to go about it. Running teh program will cause data inconsistencies

Hi,

Best way is to transfer the Balances to New gl A/c created with Open item checked and start using the New Gl a/c and block the old GL a/c for postings.

If you are in an new GL environment, you cannot change it; a new account is required as you may have to abandon the old one.

Are you release 4.5 A or earlier? Then SAP supports the change program RFSEPA02/03 after you zero down the balance of the balance sheet account. Beyond 4.5A and untill New GL, you can change it but beware, SAP no longer supports RFSEPA02/03, since handling errors frequently occurred in the past causing data inconsistencies.

If you nevertheless want to use the reports, copy them to ZFSEPA02 or ZFSEPA03 and mark the following lines as comments:

INITIALIZATION.

CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_DISPLAY_TEXT'

EXPORTING

POPUP_TITLE = ' '

TEXT_OBJECT = 'RFSEPA02' ('RFSEPA03')

EXCEPTIONS

TEXT_NOT_FOUND = 1

OTHERS = 2.

LEAVE PROGRAM.

In addition, you must adjust the EPA00F00 include. Mark the following line as comment:

INCLUDE EPA00F00.

...

*>>>> START OF DELETION - NOTE 175960 <<<<

CHECK SY-REPID = 'RFSEPA02'. "<<<< INSERT - NOTE 0065877

*>>>> END OF DELETION - NOTE 175960 <<<<

Enhance the following line:

INCLUDE EPA00F00.

...

*>>>> START OF INSERTION - NOTE 175960 <<<<

CHECK SY-REPID = 'ZFSEPA02'. "<<<< INSERT - NOTE 0175960

*>>>> END OF INSERTION - NOTE 175960 <<<<
