GL Account Should not be used

[sridhar_muthekepalli3]

Dear Friends,

For PO-4111127913, GL account 726234 was used in the PO - item details, invoice tab.

The user now says that the GL Account should not be used untill 2010.

What is the most simple way of blocking the GL? If any user tried to select the GL in the PO, he must not able to use it or the system should issue a warning or error message " you cannot use this GL Account".

Already Some POs with this GL Account 726234 has been posted. IR and FI Documents were posted. How to reverse everything from po,IR and FI Documents.

Please suggest?

Regards

Sridhar

Hi,

Blocking an account is usually done for closing and reconciliation purposes so that no further activity can be posted to that account. The account can be unblocked when activity can resume.

Menu Path

From the SAP R/3 screen, select the path:

Accounting >> Financial accounting >> General ledger >>

(new menu) Master records >> G/L Accounts >> Individual Processing >> Centrally

Fast Path

At the Command Line, enter:

Use this screen to block / unblock the account for different postings.

Enter the G/L Account and Company code and then click on the Pad Lock and lock it for the company code in question.
