Subject: To enable Open item management

Hi

The following steps have been suggested by SAP when changing the G/L account to Open item management. The standard program which is mentioned below for changing the G/L account will be copied to Z program as suggested by SAP. Once it is transported to quality I will let you know then the steps can be tested with the Z program.

Any GL account has a balance standard SAP will not allow to change status to open item managed, if the GL account is not an open item managed earlier. "Z" Program (ZRFSEPA02) will make it an open item managed.

We have created an OSS Message and SAP told us to copy RFSEPA02 to Z program(ZRFSEPA02) andFollow the steps to enable Open Item Management for GL accounts
