Symptom
In SSCUI 105450 - Define Rules for Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation, valuation method has been defined as LOWEST_VALUE (Lowest Value Principle), but still for Group Currency, Always Principle method is used. For Company Code Currency, Lowest Value Principle is applied.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
The issue arises due to the system default behavior where all currencies, except the functional currency, use the 'Always Valuate' principle, regardless of the valuation method defined in the rule.
Resolution
In SSCUI 103379 - Define Currency Settings for Ledgers and Company Codes, functional currency is defined as company code currency, this is why for company code currency, lowest valuation principle is applied, but not for group currency, as group currency will use 'Always Valuate' principle.
