3730171 - Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation does not capture special period postings - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

Journal entries posted in a special period (for example Period 13-16) are not captured by Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation (AFCV) runs.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. In Schedule General Ledger Job, create a job with template “Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation”.
  2. Run the job and review the log: postings made in special period are not included.

Cause

The system is functioning as designed. In the current release, the Advanced Valuations functionality is designed to process postings only within standard operational periods (e.g., periods 1-12). This functionality does not support valuations for postings made in special periods (e.g., periods 13-16).

Resolution

The current workaround is to post manual adjustment entries directly in the special period and subsequently reverse them in the following period.

It should also be noted that special periods are primarily intended for year-end closing adjustments, often resulting from an audit. Processing a high volume of adjustments is not the typical use case for special periods. It is recommended to consider whether reopening the last standard period (e.g., period 12) would be a more appropriate solution for the business scenario.

To have this functionality considered for inclusion in a future release, a feature request can be submitted through the SAP Customer Influence program. For guidance on this process, please refer to KBA 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Product.
