3768781 - Manual G/L Clearing does not show open items - GRRA Process - Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation - App - F1579

Symptom

  • Open items visible in the line-item display app for the general ledger do not appear in the Clear G/L Accounts – Manual Clearing (F1579) app.
  • No error message is shown; items are not listed for clearing.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Use the app to display line items in the general ledger and filter for open items on a G/L account.
  2. Confirm that open items are listed in the line item display app.
  3. Open the Clear G/L Accounts – Manual Clearing (F1579) app for the same G/L account and company code.
  4. Observe that those open items are not displayed for clearing.

Cause

  • Documents posting under GRRA process are Journal Entry Category U = "Posting in General Ledger Only" The U type identifies entries made exclusively in the general ledger (General Ledger Only), without a corresponding entry in sub-ledgers.
  • By design, these items are not open items eligible for manual clearing in the F1579 app, as they do not have the open item management feature in the context of clearing.
  • A typical example is the entries generated by the Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation process, which creates entries with Journal Entry Category.
  • These entries exist only in the general ledger view (ACDOCA) and have no entry view (BSEG) line items.
  • They are not open-item managed in the clearing context and therefore are not eligible for manual clearing in the Clear G/L Accounts – Manual Clearing (F1579) app. This is by design.

Resolution

  1. Verify the affected documents were generated by GRRA process are Journal Entry Category U and have journal entry category U (posting in general ledger only). 
  2. Acknowledge that this is expected system behavior: such postings do not appear in Clear G/L Accounts – Manual Clearing (F1579) and cannot be manually cleared.
  3. Perform clearing on the applicable business documents that are eligible for clearing; do not appear item to clear under GRRA technical postings.
