Environment

Reproducing the Issue

Perform Foreign Currency Valuation using app Schedule General Ledger Jobs (APP ID F1927) Job template Foreign Currency Valuation or  App Perform Foreign Currency Valuation (APP ID FAGL_FCV)

Cause

1. Account concerned is defined as a cost element.  An account assigned as cost element must contain a real CO Object.

2. The usage of a G/L account with cost element type 11 (Revenue) is not appropriate for posting gains resulting from exchange rate differences.

A FX gain account with cost element category 11 (revenues) can lead to errors or to issues in follow-up processes or reporting
