3832665 - Classic foreign currency valuation app fails due to posting block on the account being valuated — SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

• During month-end run of Perform Foreign Currency Valuation, the update run fails with error due to the account being blocked.
• It is noted that for other accounts, with a posting block set, the foreign currency valuation completes successfully and FCV adjustment postings are posted to the system. 

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open the app Perform Foreign Currency Valuation.
2. Run the valuation for the closing period with selection that includes the balance sheet G/L account.
3. Observe that the run picks up the account and issues an error that the account is blocked for posting.

• The G/L account is blocked for posting. For non–open item managed balance sheet accounts, the foreign currency valuation process creates direct adjustment postings to the account itself; a posting block prevents these postings and causes an error. 
• In contrast if the account is open item managed, a posting block on the account will not prevent the foreign currency valuation program from executing and creating the adjustment entries since separate GL accounts are used for the valuation.  

1. Check if the account involved is a non-OIM account in app 'Manage G/L account master data'. 
2. If confirmed, unblock the G/L account at both chart of accounts and company code levels before running Perform Foreign Currency Valuation again.
3. Start the valuation again for the required period and enable “Save log” in Output/Technical settings to verify successful posting.
