Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Use the tile "Clear GL account- Manual". (This is applicable for other clearing applications as well such as Reprocess Bank Statement Items)
  2. Observe that the system is calculating forex gain and loss.

Cause

SSCUI 100135 is deprecated.

Resolution

  1. Access SSCUI 106039 - Company Code General Ledger View.
  2. Set the flag "No Exchange Rate Difference When Clearing in LC" for the company code.

Note:

  • The flag "No Exch. Rate Diff. when clearing in LC" in the settings for the company code only applies to the first local currency. Review the F1 help on the field to see example of its usage. 
  • If there is a difference between the different local currency amounts (example second local currency of the cleared items), this difference amount has to be charged off because a clearing needs to be balanced in all currencies. Therefore in such an scenario an exchange rate difference for the second local currency needs to be posted even if the flag is set.
