Hi experts,

My user has defined "USD4" in currency block of GL code 310000(bank's code) in FS00.He has passed many entries in said GL code.Now while user going make payment through T code F-53 and mention currency as USD3,system shows following error:

Postings to account 310000 (company code 1000) are only possible in currency

USD4

Message no. F5353

Diagnosis

G/L account "310000" is managed in "USD4". For this reason, it is not

possible to post amounts in "USD3".

System response

The data canot be updated.

Procedure

o If you want to post a gain or loss from exchange rate fluctuation to

a foreign exchange account, you must use the Foreign currency

valuation function.

Possible reason why you are getting the error message is that the GL account currency is not same as the company code currency. Maintaning the account currency as company code currency allows you to post in any other currency and SAP would maintain transactions using exchange rates maintained.

In your ex: If USD4 is the company code currency then you should be able to post in USD3 also.

If not, you won't be able to post using USD3.

If there is a balance in the GL account you won't be able to change the currency unless the balance is zero.

Hello,

I have more information to add to this thread.

The Foreign Currency Revaluation is accessed by transaction code F.05. The transaction revalues foreign currencies into the group currency using the foreign exchange rates based on a specific valuation date. This date may be the last day of the period (month-end).

The reval is often used if a company has business units in foreign countries and a different currency is used.

Seeing that you specified the currency to be USD4 for the account, it is possible that the USD3 currency is being read as a foreign currency.

Hope this helps.
