General GL Account type 'S' named as Billing Control account in OB52

[Former Member]

General GL Account type 'S' named as Billing Control account in OB52 is not found.

I have noticed that the above Billing Control account of P&L Statement type account is non existing in the the OB52 range.

The nature of this Account is to receive all the Billing Invoices tansferred to Accounting in SAP CRM are to get posted to this Account in the R/3 but it throws an error saying-

(Posting period 7 is not open for GL Account type 'S' 2104000)

To solve this I have opened posting periods for Account type '+' that includes account type 'S' for all available entries.

But to my notice the afforesaid account 2104000 is not falling in any range in OB52. i.e it is not seen in OB52 at all.

I above scenario explained is in F System.

When I compared the scenario in P System for the account 2104000 it is not available in OB52 in Production system also but we do not face any errors for Billing posting in Production at all.

Does any one of us know if there is any account that falls out of the purview of OB52 and is controlled from somewhere else?

I am stuck up with this. Kindly help.

Thanks for all your time and patience.

For Accounts Receivable transactions, where there is a posting made to "Customers" reconciliation account you will require S & D open in OB52. Further, since usually in billing/AR document will aslo include and entry to a P&L account, account type S too needs to be opened.
