Hi All
Thanks for pointing out that I could have waited to collect , in clearer
terms, the user's exact requirement.
I tried to offer my views to the user based on my understanding of whatever
the user had quoted.
Let me give you an excerpt of what was quoted earlier by steal82 :
open items were formed on G L account in spite of the fact that it was not a
reconciliation account for creditors.
Is there any way to change the account status from G/L account into
reconciliation account, clear existing open items and change account status
back to G/L account?
Let us parse the query to find out my understanding of whatever was stated
:
User's Query:
Open items were formed on G L account in spite of the fact that it was not a
reconciliation account for creditors.
My response to it:
I thought that the user was under the misconception that Open item
management applies to creditors only ( represented in the General Ledger as
a reconciliation account ). I proceeded to tell him that it is not so and
that General Ledger Accounts ( not involving Creditors ) can also themselves
be managed on open item basis.
User's Query:
Is there any way to change the account status from G/L account into
reconciliation account, clear existing open items and change account status
back to G/L account?
My response to it:
I thought that the user wanted to change the said G L account ( with open
line items ) into a reconciliation account ( probably he thought clearing
the open items in the said account could be carried out that way !) and then
change the status of the account back to what it was earlier.
I tried to dispel this myth by explaining to him that he does not have to do
so because changing the status of a G L account ( line item activation ,
open item management etc...) is not easy and involves many precautions to
be taken and that any changes should be carried out under the supervision of
someone who is well-versed with SAP functionality.
While I am not justifying my act, I sincerely believed that I had understood
the user's query and replied accordingly.
Hope this clarifies.
Regards
VidhyaDhar
