Issue No.: 7
While creating G/L accounts, some of the G/L accounts were wrongly kept as open item management. Now the
user wants to remove open item management functionality through transaction code FS02, but the system is giving the following error message: "This account does not balance to zero."
System Response:
You cannot switch the open item management specification on or off with this transaction.
Procedure:
If you want to switch this function on retroactively for a certain account, you should create a new account with
the correct setting and use this to make a transfer posting of existing items.
While creating the G/L master, you have to pay utmost attention to the setting of G/L master attributes. The situation here
is changing the attribute of G/L accounts after posting the transaction. For this, you have two options:
Standard solution:
1. Create a new G/L account.
2. Transfer the account balance from the old G/L account to the new G/L account.
3. Switch off open item management for the old account and retransfer the G/L balance from the new account to the old account.
Without making the account balance zero, you can't switch an open item attribute of a G/L account.
Consulting solution:
As an alternative, the user could try program RFSEPA03, depending on his SAP release. The user may have to copy the program to the "Z" program and remove the piece of code that prevents its use. Before adopting this procedure,make sure the user reads the program documentation and related SAP advice.
