- Notice the error message: Account determination missing for item type Exchange Rate Differences from Purchasing
Cause
While checking the purchasing document that was Processed with Errors for the concerned GR/IR Clearing Run, you noticed that the concerned purchase order is for a service rather than a product.

- Go to Overview view.
- Open fine tuning activity Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination.
- Under Account Determination section, click Costs.
- Select Exchange Rate Differences tab.
- Enter a row for the respective Account Determination Group for Services and maintain the accounts for Gain from Exchange Rate Differences and Loss from Exchange Rate Differences.
- Save your changes.
You should no longer face the error message when you execute a new GR/IR Clearing Run for the same data selection.
