Symptom
The “Open Item Management” indicator in the G/L account master data cannot be used to retroactively switch on or switch off open item management in an account.
"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
Cannot retroactively activate or deactivate the open item management for an account in which postings exist. This is independent from whether the account balance is equal to zero.
Resolution
Use the job template "Activate Open Item Management for G/L Accounts" to schedule a job in the Schedule Accounting Data Changes app to retroactively set or remove the indicator for open item management.
