Ledger Group specific posting exist (When we trying to activate open item management)

0 Kudos

Hello All,

To activate open item management, for existing non Open item GL account, we have run program "FAGL_SWITCHTOOPEN",

Then also we are getting the following error message " Ledger Group specific posting exist", For this we have raise the OSS ticket,

What SAP team is telling that for this GL account we have already run the FC valuation, that the reason we can't activate Open item management,

& they are recommended to solve the issue with consultant technically.


So could you please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Vishnu.

Hi Vishnu,

You cannot activate the open item flag if any data is exist in that GL following are the step need to follow

soln1 : Create a new GL with Same name with open item management activate and transfer all

           open line item to that GL

soln2 : You have to  make it zero balance by transferring all the open line item to any

           dummy GL once done  then go to FS00 put the open item  Check box activate

           then once again repost the same open item in that account

Hope this is solve your Issue

Thanks

Hello Trinath,

Thanks for your reply.

As per my client bussiness process, we can't creat the new GL account.

But in 2014, SAP has given note to this.

Dear,

If the GL account is already made with "Ledger specific clearing" option ticked, then there is no need of making it to Open item managed. Because, Ledger specific clearing itself is Open item managed and line item disply.

Go to FS00 and check if the "Ledger specific clearing" is checked for this GL account. If yes, you are running the clearing procedure based on Ledger specific. Like, For leading ledger, Local, and others.

If you set the Clearing Specific to Ledger Groups indicator for a G/L account

managed on an open item basis, ledger group-specific postings can be made to this

account. In this way, you have a ledger group-specific view of the account. Clearing is

also performed for specific ledger groups. This means that items that you have posted

in a specific ledger group can only be processed further within the same ledger group.

If you have posted provisions, for example, to specific ledger groups, you also clear

those provisions for those specific ledger groups.

If you set this indicator, it replaces the following indicators:

Consequently, once you have set the Clearing Specific to Ledger Groups indicator,

you cannot set either of the other indicators.

Hope this clarifies

Thanks

Hi Narasimhulu,

Can this be unchecked at later point in time to make the GL account relevant for tax?

Hi Vishnu,

You can try to create a new account with O/I management flag on and transfer the existing items to this new account.
