Change Account Group and flag open item management

[Former Member]

Hello 

we are facing an issue regarding our chart of account.

Some accounts have account group ABST (Recon.account AP/AR), and we want to change it by SAKO (G/L accounts (general), and then we want to flag "open item managment"

When preocesing this way, we have an error message : "Open item management is not defined for reconciliation accounts"

Can someone advise on this issue, and for information, there is no accounting entries on this account

Thanks

The open items for Reconciliation accounts are kept in the sub-ledger. There is no need for open item management in the G/L. Change the account group back and make sure that the account is not identified as a reconciliation account.

In addition to what Jeff says below, you may also need to put in a service request to have SAP convert those existing accounts to be open item managed. I know we attempted to convert some of our accounts which had a zero balance ourselves and got a FH190 error which prevented us from doing that activity and required SAP to do the conversion for us.
