SAP Note 393461 - Inexplicable amounts in foreign currency in GR for PO

Component : Purchase Order Valuation - Goods Movements in Foreign Currencies

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/393461 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP Note identifies issues in goods receipt and reversal transactions pertaining to foreign currency postings where values do not correspond to expected rates, potentially leading to major discrepancies and errors in balance sheet data. Specifically, the report SAPF100, used for Open Item Foreign Currency Valuation of GR/IR accounts, assumes correct document currency and converts it to local currency using current rates. This can result in unrealistic amounts being posted. Common causes include invoices posted prior to SAP Release 4.0 or in non-purchase order currencies. Examples detail scenarios where discrepancies arise due to the system's inability to handle multiple currency conversions and historical data inconsistencies effectively. Improvement may require adjustments in value determination processes or report logic.
