Hi Experts,

I observed difference between ECC and S4 in GL open item managemen.

ECC: after performing "FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP" all the open line items cleared using transfer posting GL.

S4 : after performing " FINS_SWITCH_TO_OPEN_ITEM - system simply making changes in master data with OIM activation and keeping all the line items available for clearing manually.

Client expectation is only to activate OIM for GL and user need to select and clear manually.

How we can acheive in ECC? why same/ similar funcationality different in ECC & S4?

Hi,

Myself resolved the issue. Need to input as activation date for the OIM with a date BEFORE the first posting to the account. with this all the line items are converted as open item and can be cleared later.
