Vendor Master - Recon Account

[Former Member]

Hi,

The users, while creating the Vendor Masters, used a particular Recon Account. Thereafter the entries were posted to this account and subsequently it was found that the Recon A/c was wrongly mapped. The users tried to use the T Code for 'Change Master' but the system does not allow to change the Recon Account. Is there some other way out as to how could the Recon A/c be changed now. Could you please advise ?

Thnx in advance.

There is no need to reverse the entry of recon account you can just change the recon account. If u r in change mode of Vendor master then also the Recon acct is showing in display mode then change the config

Path for config :

SPRO --> Financial Accounting --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Vendor Accounts --> Master Data --> Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data >Define Screen Layout per Activity (Vendors)- in this Dbl Click {Change Vendor (Accounting)} then Dbl click on Company code Data then Dbl click on Account Management and make the REcon Acct as optional.

If this information is useful pls assign points

Hi Ranjit,

Thanks for the information. The solution seems to be quite ok. However, the question is, when the Recon Account is changed, what happens to the postings already made with the old Recon Account ? I understand these would appear in the old Recon GL Account as the tables have already been maintained and after the Recon Account is changed, the new entries would, of course appear in the new Recon Account. Am I correct in my understanding ?

HI,

if you think there is a wrong posting to vendor that is wrong recon accounting.

1. u can change the recon account at OBBH . assign it to new one .

2. if u think all the entries are wrong reserve them and assign the new reon account at OBBH .

let me know it is is usful

Hi Dear,

do the process given by Ranjit K & then do the vendor clearing by F-44 so that all the open items lying in the incorrect reco account are cleared & the balance is there in the new reco account.

Hello Saurabh,

Using the T Code F-44 the open items appearing in the old Recon Account are to be cleared with what ? Is it that the same vendor account is required to be debited and credited with the open item amount and the debit of the new entry is to be cleared with the credit pertaining to the old Recon Account ? If so a temporary GL Account will have to be used for the same, correct ?

Could you please clarify ?

Hi

One more option is there, Recon. A/c should me ZERO. Then u can put the other Recon a/c.

Thanks Shammi,

Does that mean that temporarily we make the balance in the Recon Account as zero and then change the Recon Account. Later we should restore the balance in the Recon Account. Will there be a problem in postings subsequently.

Thanx.

Hi

Otherwise reverse the documents and assign the another Recon A/c.

Hi,

may be this require a config change.In the definition for vendor account groups...first change the recon account field from display to optional....save the data.make the necessary changes to master records.....and again set the recon account field to display and save.This has to be carried directly in production server.

Thanks
