3138607 - No valuation takes place when performing foreign currency valuation

Symptom

Account is not valuated by app Perform Foreign Currency Valuation.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

Reproducing the Issue

Execute app Perform Foreign Currency Valuation for G/L account balances.

Cause

Indicator "Only Balances in Local Currency” is set for the account in the master record.

This flag indicates that balances are updated only in local currency when users post items to this account. Then the total table (GLT0 / FAGLFLEXT) is filled only in local currency. If the update currency is the local currency, the revaluation program does not recognize the foreign currency and consequently no valuation takes place.

Accounts managed on open item management are excluded from this rule. These are valuated in case it has posted with a transaction currency different from local / group currency regardless of whether the flag "Only Balances in Local Currency” is set or not in the account master data. The purpose of this flag is to control the currency update of the account balances (i.e. in the total tables).

Resolution

If the user subsequently removes this indicator only the new postings created can be read in foreign currency and the balances in foreign currency are taken into consideration for valuation purposes.
