3506058 - Transaction and Group Currency Match but Amounts Differ

The Transaction Currency and Group Currency for a posting are the same (e.g. Euro) but the amounts differ.

1. Open 'Post General Journal Entries'.
2. Choose a company code where the company code currency and the group currency differ.
3. Choose transaction currency to be the same as the group currency.
4. Make a posting.
5. See the amounts between transaction and group currency differ despite being the same currency.

In SSCUI 103379 'Define Currency Settings for Ledgers and Company Codes', the source currency for the group currency is not the transaction currency. 

For example:

Transaction currency EUR.

Company code currency GBP (source currency defined as transaction currency).

Group currency EUR (source currency defined as company code Currency).

In the above example, the following conversion takes place to calculate the group currency amount:

EUR (transaction currency) -> GPB (company code currency) -> EUR (group currency).

This double conversion can cause discrepancies based on the exchange rates used for each conversion leading to a difference between transaction and group currency amounts despite having the same currency type.

The system behaves as expected. 

If there are no postings on the system, the source currency for the group currency can be changed to transaction currency.
