"Perform Foreign Currency Valuation" common error - segment not valid

[Former Member]

During our month end close process, when we run the Perform Foreign Currency Valuation app, then we check our Verify Data Flow app to see any ECS errors in suspense for items that did not post. 

We have a recurring common error blocking posting: segment is not valid for item000 followed by the mismatch 

And in each instance the system is assigning the incorrect segment in the remeasurment process, for one of the lines in the entry. The mismatch appears to always be between the balance sheet and the P&L entry

I believe that somewhere in our configuration we've assigned something incorrectly, as we do not encounter this error anywhere else in our business processes, however, I'm at a loss to figure out where I go to look at our settings to troubleshoot and fix this. 

Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks for screenshot. In that case let me take a long shot without access to the system.

SSCUI ID 120100 is: 'Edit Constant for Nonassigned Processes'.

Segments are assigned in Profit Center master data: please check assignment to PC in the example: 1130001 and 1130002.

Profit centers are also assigned in cost center master data. Then segment can be derived via CC->PC-Segment.

Unrealized exchange rate differences are posted to:

72540000 Gain from currency valuation,

72040000 Loss from Currency Valuation.

For these postings system needs cost center. In your print screen it is 11300001. This will be typically determined with 'Manage Default Account Assignments' SSCUI ID 102639. Please check settings for 72540000, 72040000.

Please also check SSCUI ID 102529 Assign Default Profit Center to Accounts if GLs 72540000, 72040000 are not included in a way that causes this issue.

You can also check if you have implemented custom logic for determination of cost centers, PC and segments.

I hope this tips will help you solve this puzzle.

Regards,

Marcin

mnowacki Thank you very much for your help. You were correct with two of your troubleshooting suggestions above as we have multiple impediments that we've found.

Manage Default Account Assignments' SSCUI ID 102639 - this was used to find and correct the two valuation GLs had incorrect assignments to them in some but not all company codes.

We also found that we also do have custom logic implemented that is causing the errors as well. We're currently working on resolving this.

Thank you again for your help and hopefully this will help others in the future.
