Change GL Account - REconciliation type

[Former Member]

Hello,

I would like to change setting of one reconciliation account, exactly field "Recon. account for acct type" from K to blank. But as my balance is not cero SAP doesnt let me make any change.

I cant leave the reconciliation account to cero because I cant make any direct posting. Which is the day to solve this problem?

Error message:

Modifications to reconciliation account not permitted

Hi Mansika,

is your problem solved?

I have a similar problem:

In the past an g/l account could be posted directly, so that there are a lot of postings. During a harmonization project the g/l account was changed to a reconciliation account for debtors.

We would like to get the account to zero, but as it is marked as a recon. account we can´t do any direct postings.

I can´t change the flag to blank neither with TA FS00 nor on table SKB1.

Also it is not possible to delete the postings.

Error message:

Modifications to reconciliation account not permitted

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi,

To change OI as Non-OI, first you have to make GL balance zero. For that you have to create a dummy GL, transfer all the GL documents to this dummy GL and run the program : RFSEPA02 and re-transport the GL documents and  block the newly created GL.

Hello Mansika,

Can you please tell us that why the reconciliation status has to be changed from Vendors to Blank, so that we can think for any other possibility if any.

The situation is the follwing one:

I have a gl account x, this gl account was defined as reconciliation account and also blank as reconciliation type. So it was possible to post directly against the gl account. At one point, the reconciliation type is changed into K (but the change doesnt appear in the log changes) I dont understand still why....and nobody delete it from the table.

What happens now.....the gl account as it has now reconciliation type K, is not possible to post direct against itself. So I guess the solution is to get zero balance in order to be able to change to blank again. I tried to get zero balance using F-51 tcode but as the OIM is not marked, doesnt reconize any open item.

I hope the situation is more clear now...

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your help.

But Cancel documents? Is there any way to get balance cero??

Hello Mansika,

It is not possible to make changes to this kind of mandatory and sensitive fields such when Account is reconciliation account and posting are already there.

The G/L rec. accounts are updated automatically when posting are made to customer or vendor... Thus, the only possibility is to check this with the key user of accountant to identify the posting made and correct them

Please cancel the posting till balance will be zero, then create new rec. account with the right settings

Hope this help you

Yes, as suggested by Atif you can for example use F-51 to cancel

You can cancel and there is a good reason for that if auditors asked about the reason...

Thanks for your early reply.

But now I am facing another problem, I am trying to run F-51 tcode but the gl account doesnt have flag "Open items management" marked...It means I cant clear open items....Any suggestion???

Thanks a lot!

You cant clear a reconciliation account

Hi,

If the account balance is zero you can activate OIM.

Also If the GL account is not OIM, then there is no meaning to clear it.

Hi,

Your recon account iz for vendorz. Take all vendors which have open items belonging to this recon in FBL1N and transfer their balance to adjusting GL in f-51. It will make the recon balance nil and the you can change recon acc type in FS00.
