3759349 - Foreign exchange postings remain uncleared after switching to non-open item managed for G/L account - SAP S/HANA Cloud Public edition

• Configuration of a G/L account was changed from open item managed to non-open item managed.
• Foreign exchange (FX) postings created before the change remain as uncleared/open items.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Use a G/L account that is open item managed and has historical FX postings.
2. Change the account to non-open item managed.
3. Review the line items: FX postings created before the change remain as open items, while other journal entries may no longer appear as open items.

FX postings created before the OIM change are not cleared automatically when OIM is switched off and therefore remain as open items.

Identify the FX postings that were created before the OIM change and still appear as open items.

• Option A: Rerun the relevant FX valuation/remeasurement after all original items are cleared so the system updates the FX postings accordingly.
• Option B: Reverse the legacy FX postings manually if a rerun is not suitable.

Note: Changing the OIM indicator does not clear existing FX postings. If you need to retroactively set or remove OIM where postings exist, schedule a job in the Schedule Accounting Data Changes app using the “Activate Open Item Management for G/L Accounts” job template.

Refer to SAP Notes:

• 3332435 - "Open Item Management" indicator in the G/L account cannot be used for retroactive changes
• 3023775 - Error FH190 when changing the open item management indicator
