Hi

If you have new GL active, you need to create a new GL Account with Open Item and Line Item Active and than transfer the line items to the new GL Account. Also if the old GL is posted to by the system, you should assign the new GL Account number in your configuration

Similar isseu I noticed in one of my test client, you can follow below procedure"

1) Make a Account ZERO (by Posting one block entry)

2) Block GL account for posting

3) Run program ZFSEPA02 (through SE38) if you get error message FH087 then check if carryfowrd balances is executed or not for next fiscal year? if already executed then re-run carryforward balances program

4) re-run program ZFSEPA02

Hi,

It does not matter whether an account has zero balance or not, you cannot change it to open item managed as far as they were already transactions posted to it.

As already mentioned you need to to run report RFSEPA02. Copy it to ZFSEPA02 and deactivate limitations in the program in accordance with SAP Note 175960.

SAP does not support this report because it may cause differences between totals and sum of open items.
