Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the "Reprocess Bank Statement Items" app.
  2. Select the Bank Statement.
  3. Enter G/L account.
  4. Simulate.
  5. You get the error "Exchange rate diff.accts are not defined for account XXXXXXXX currency YYY.

Cause

  1. During processing of bank statements logic of clearing is used. After amounts are calculated if there is a balance in any of the currencies the exchange rate difference line item will be created. 
  2. The account for such differences is based on configuration and the base account, which is chosen from line with biggest amount.
  3. In this case the line with biggest amount happened to be P&L item.

Resolution

As a workaround, manually adjust the amount in the 'Local Currency Amount'/'Amount in Additional Currency' field by -0.01 for the G/L Account XXXXXXXX. For example, change 148,558.42 to 148,558.41.

As an alternative workaround configure realised exchange rate difference account for that P&L account (XXXXXXXX). That configuration will be taken into effect only in such cases, as there are no way clearing can be triggered for non-open item accounts like this P&L account.

Note: The fix is planned to be made available via Hotfix Collection HFC05 together with feature update 2408.1, planned release date 19.09.2024.
