GL Open Item Mgt Check Box

[Former Member]

Hi,

User Posted some documents without selecting Open Item Management Check Box for some GL Codes. Now those GLs have some balances.  Now we want to activate Open Item Management for some GL Codes.

Kindly advise what is the proceducure for this. We are using ECC6 and activated New GL.

Thanks in advance

If you do not want to get into complications of SAP note implementation,

Create a new GL account with open item management enabled and transfer your current GL balance to it via JV posting. So that any further posting in that you will be able to see open item.

Between what account is it, if you can tell.

If I recall correctly, this was the approach suggested by SAP (creating new accounts). But for business reasons we had to use the old ones.

This thread shouldn't be in SCN Support: where was it originally? I'm moving it to for now.

I don't know about the new GL part, but I can tell you that some time ago, we changed some GLs to or from open item managed. I believe there are notes on this. It's not a trivial matter.

PS - did you mean to ask this in the "Try SCN Features" or did a moderator move it here?

It was years ago. You should look for notes and contact OSS if need be.
