3409529 - Rounding difference posting logic

This article will explain how the rounding difference gets posted when posting foreign currency journal entries in difference process.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

When a journal entry is posted in a foreign currency, the amount in the local currency is calculated for each line item. If the journal entry is simulated or posted, the system checks for a zero balance. Due to rounding, a balance can be created in the local currency, that is, the total of the line items in the local currency deviates slightly from the total amount of the document in the local currency.

How is this rounding difference distributed?
The logic is different.

1. In a pure financial accounting document, this rounding difference is added to the first non-automatically generated item with the corresponding debit/credit indicator. The same procedure is used for parallel currencies.
2. In case of a clearing process, system does not distinguish between rounding difference or exchange rate difference, all difference will be posted to exchange rate difference account to balance the postings.
