Symptom
The currency of the posted items in posting area 2 is different from the posted items in posting area 1.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
Go to the app Manage Bank Statements or the app Reprocess Bank Statement Items.
Cause
The bank statement file contains both the account currency and the amount in account currency as well as the original order currency and original order amount (OCMT).
The data in the account currency is transferred to the fields FEBEP-HWAER and FEBEP-HWBTR.
The data for the original order amount is written to the fields FEBEP-FWAER and FEBEP-FWBTR.
Example for format MT940:
Account Currency EUR
:61: C1107,00
:86: //OCMT/USD1200,00/
The table FEBEP is filled as follows:
FEBEP-HWAER EUR
FEBEP-HWBTR 1107,00
FEBEP-FWAER USD
FEBEP-FWBTR 1200,00
Resolution
In posting area 1 (Bank Accounting), postings are always made in the account currency.
In posting area 2 (Subledger Accounting), the foreign currency fields (OCMT) are used for posting if they are filled. If this information is not available, postings are made in the account currency in the same way as in posting area 1.
