3677911 - Reset cleared items' app reset is restricted due to foreign exchange rate difference in sap s/4hana cloud public edition

• A reset without reversal of a clearing journal entry in app 'Reset Cleared Items - FBRA' is attempted.
• It is not possible to proceed due to the exchange rate difference associated with the clearing journal entry. 

• SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Attempt to reset cleared items in app 'Reset Cleared Items - FBRA'.
2. A message appears "Exchange rate differences were posted, clearing journal entries will be reversed"
3. Note that the system does not allow journal entry to be reset only due to exchange rate differences. It only gives option to reset & reverse the journal entry.

If a clearing journal entry has an involved an exchange rate difference, you cannot simply 'reset' the clearing without also reversing the original clearing document 

If we only reset the clearing:

1. The initial exchange rate gain or loss would remain on the books.

2. When you clear the items again, the system would calculate and post the exchange rate gain/loss a second time.

3. This would result in the exchange gain/loss being recorded in your Profit & Loss statement twice—which is a not permitted. 

Therefore, for accurate financial reporting, any reset of a clearing document that included an exchange rate difference must be accompanied by a reversal to correctly zero out the initial exchange rate posting.

1. It is not possible to only reset the clearing journal entry when exchange rate difference is posted.
2. The document should be reversed simultaneously.
