5. Error message FAGL_SWITCH_OP090 is prompted "Ledger group-specific postings exist"

There are ledger-specific postings on the account. Note that this is not a technical restriction, but a logical one; since it is not possible at all to set the 'ledger group specific' postings to standard open item management. The reason for this should be clear, as the main requirement/requisite for Open Item management is that the balances in ALL ledgers must be the same as the sum of open items. Therefore it is not possible to post 'ledger group specific postings' anymore for a open item managed account. So of course, ledger group specific postings will not be set to Open Item Management, as these could also not be cleared again.

There are two available options;

1. Create and use new accounts with the OIM option you want.
2. Alternatively reverse the ledger specific postings for these accounts. Then it would be possible to activate the OIM-feature. 

Please see the following SAP Help Documentation Activate Open Item Management for G/L Accounts

   • No line items have been archived. Exception: If line items have been archived, the balance of the archived line items is zero.
