3692458 - Amount in Object Currency showing zero balance in General Ledger Reports for Cost Center Assignments in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • Amount in object currency is showing zero balance for line items in General Ledger reports.
  • The issue occurs specifically for line items assigned to cost centers.
  • Line items assigned to projects display an amount in object currency.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

Observe the General Ledger reports where line items assigned to cost centers show zero balance in the Amount in Object Currency column.

Cause

The behavior related to the amount in object currency has been identified. Specifically, the amount in object currency is populated only when the account assignment includes an object currency. In most cases, an object currency is maintained for projects, which explains the observed behavior.

Resolution

For journal entry X, GL account Y is posted in both line items 1 and 2. However, a key difference is present in their account assignments:

In line item 1, the account assignment is a cost center, for which an amount in object currency is not maintained.
In line item 2, the account assignment is a project, for which an amount in object currency is typically maintained.
As a result, the amount in object currency is displayed for line item 2 but not for line item 1. When the account assignment is a cost center, the amount in local (company code) currency should be used for analysis.
