3670748 - Error "Balance in local currency & is too large for automatic adjustment" for migrated document in Clear Outgoing Payments or Clear Incoming Payments app

Error "Balance in local currency & is too large for automatic adjustment" (Message no. F5061) occurs in the Clear Outgoing Payments or Clear Incoming Payments app when clearing migrated document.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

There is a mismatch between two currency amounts that share the same currency key but have different values. This can occur between the company code currency and the transaction currency, or between the group currency (second local currency) and the transaction currency. The mismatch is typically introduced during migration when the affected currency amount is not provided explicitly in the migration template and is instead calculated by the system.

Resolution 1 — Clearing with Transfer Posting

This method applies when the transaction currency differs from the company code currency.

In the Clear Outgoing Payments or Clear Incoming Payments app, enable the Transfer Posting option and then proceed with clearing as usual. When Transfer Posting is active, the clearing document is generated in the company code currency rather than in the transaction currency. This avoids the issue of mismatched amounts on the migrated documents. Any resulting exchange rate differences are automatically posted to the exchange rate gain/loss accounts.

Prerequisites:

• The transaction currency must be different from the company code currency.
• Account determination for transaction key KDF (Exchange Rate Difference: Open Items / G/L Account) must be configured for the relevant reconciliation account (SSCUI 100297).

Resolution 2 — Reverse and Repost

Use this method when Resolution 1 is not applicable—for example, when the transaction currency and the company code currency are the same—or is not preferred from a business perspective, such as when posting exchange rate differences to the KDF accounts is not acceptable.

Reverse the migrated document and post it again with the correct amounts.

Important: When reposting, ensure that the migration template explicitly and correctly provides the amount for every currency field. Do not leave any currency amount blank for the system to calculate. If two currencies are the same (e.g., both USD), their amounts must match. If a currency amount is left empty, the system may derive it from another currency field using exchange rates, which could reproduce the same mismatch.

Review how the system calculates currency values in the configuration step Define Currency Settings for Ledgers and Company Codes (SSCUI 103379).
