How to activate open time management in SAP S/4HANA

There is a relationship between Open item management and Financial Accounting. Also, there is a setting in the master record for an account. As a result of the setting, each posting to the account is offset by another posting to that account. Before clearing, items must balance to zero value. The account balance is always equivalent to the sum of the open items. It controls all outstanding amounts. These include those that are got from various customers and those paid to various vendors, employees etc. Moreover, every line item of the respective GL account report, needs a clear report. The line item invoice for this report is cleared for the vendor and gets received from customers. Red symbol states that the line items are still open and not cleared. Green symbol means clearing of the line items. A red or green indicator is present in standard reports when there is a mark on the open item management checkbox.

Step-by-step process on how to activate open item management

1. 1. 1. Let us look at how to activate open item management in SAP S/4HANA. When postings are made to the GL, it is possible to activate open item management.
      2. Enter the Company Code and the GL account for which Open item management has to be activated and provide a Start date that is older than the first line item posting date in the GL Account.
      3. Consider an example where we use TCODE: FS00. In this TCODE, for the GL that we use, Open Item Management has to be checked.
      4. For TCODE – FBL3N, let us assume that the GL account has several line item postings. We now want to activate open item management for all existing line items.
      5. Using TCODE – FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP, the business would like to activate all line items to open. For this, we key in the ‘Company Code’ and ‘G/L Account’ for the concerned GL, which will get activated as Open Item Management and the ‘Switch on’ date needs to be prior to the date that the line items were first posted with respect to the GL.
      6. Check the ‘Test Run’ and ‘Perform Reporting’ boxes and execute it.
      7. Red dots indicate Error Messages. In the absence of error messages, you can go back and uncheck the ‘Test Run’ box and execute the transaction. As a result, the line items for Open Item Management get activated.
