Symptom

You are using a specific valuation area in Classic Foreign Currency Valuation and you would like to know how you can influence which ledger groups and ledgers are posted by the selected valuation area.
How Ledger Groups are determined during Classic Foreign Currency Valuation?

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

Perform Classic Foreign Currency Valuation with a specific valuation area.

Resolution

Ledger groups and valuation areas are tied through accounting principle assignment. See the following customizing steps:  
"Assign Valuation area and Accounting Principles -SSCUI 101627"

Classic Foreign Currency Valuation is using Ledger Groups to determine the Ledgers for the generation of journal entries.
Ledger groups are not configured explicitly but they are determined implicitly in the configuration activity ‘Assign Accounting Principles to Ledgers and Company Codes’ (ID 103556):
•If an accounting principle is assigned to the company code in one ledger only, this ledger is the only entry in the ledger group.
•If an accounting principle is assigned to the company code in several ledgers, all these ledgers are included in the ledger group.
