3277699 - Foreign Currency Remeasurement Run For Payables or Receivables Picks up Documents Already Cleared

Symptom

  • You run a new Foreign Currency Remeasurement Run (FCR) for Payables or Receivables.
  • This run picks up Documents (e.g. Down Payments) which are already cleared.
  • You expect that the Documents which are already cleared should not be picked up by the run.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Payables Work Center - Foreign Currency Remeasurement Runs view.
  2. Show all Foreign Currency Remeasurement Runs, find XXX (where XXX is the FCR Run ID).
  3. Click on Log Result.
  4. Switch to Tab Processed Successfully.
  5. Highlight the relevant Source Document ID YYY (where YYY is the Source Document ID).

This Document should not have been picked up by the Run since it is already cleared.

Cause

It does not matter whether the Invoice or the Down Payment was cleared before the Run was executed. What matters is what is the Posting Date of the Clearing and the Posting Date of the Journal Entries of the FCR run.

Resolution

  1. Go to the Payables Work Center - Foreign Currency Remeasurement Runs View.
  2. Show all Foreign Currency Remeasurement Runs, find XXX (where XXX is the FCR Run ID).
  3. Click on Log Result.
  4. Switch to Tab Processed Successfully.
  5. Click on the relevant Source Document ID YYY.
  6. Press View all.
  7. Switch to tab Document Flow.
  8. You can see that the Clearing Posting Date of the Document was e.g. the 13/11/2022.
  9. Go back to the FCR Run and switch to Tab Postings and Subtab Journal Entries.

You can see that the Posting Date of the Journal Entries here is e.g. the 29/10/2022 and e.g. the 28/10/2022 which is before the Cearing Date of the Document YYY. Therefore the FCR Run picked the Document up since at the time of the Posting Date of the Journal Entry of the FCR Run the Document had not been cleared yet.
