Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation - changes?!

[sanne_larsen]

Hi, 

We've a customer running a public cloud project at the moment, we'r now in the realize phase and doing config in the system. I'm about to do config related to Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation, following guides and blogposts but it seems like some changes has been made compared to previously related to GL-accounts. When reading: https://community.sap.com/t5/enterprise-resource-planning-blogs-by-sap/advanced-foreign-currency-val... I can see that in the step Define Rules for Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation (ID: 105450) when you define Assign G/L Accounts for FSV your about to enter G/L accounts both realized and unrealized accounts:

But, when checking in the same step in the customer CBC there are different headings? 

It seems like the realized has been removed and replaced with Reset XX?
What is the "Reset account" used for? Where can I find the realized account? 

Where is the documentation related to this? 

Kind Regards, Sanne

Hello dear user,

And thank you for asking your question in the SAP Community blog.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition has gone through updates in Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation (FCV) configuration, especially in Manage Your Solution / CBC > SSCUI 105450 (Define Rules for Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation).

Let’s clarify the changes and how to work with them now.

What Changed in SSCUI 105450?

Previously, you could directly assign G/L accounts for realized and unrealized foreign currency differences. In newer releases of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public, the configuration interface has been updated, and some fields like "Realized Gain/Loss" have been removed or renamed.

You now see something like this:

Account Type	What it Means
Unrealized Gain/Loss	Still used for FC valuation postings (standard)
Reset Gain/Loss	New term introduced for resetting prior FC valuation entries
Valuation Offset	Technical offset account (e.g., balance sheet account)

What is the "Reset" account?

The Reset Gain/Loss Account is used for reversing or resetting previously posted unrealized foreign currency valuation documents. This is part of the reset step in FCV processing — typically when the next valuation cycle begins or at period-end closing.

• In Advanced FCV, the reset run reverses the prior period’s valuation entries (created with unrealized accounts).
• The reset postings now go to a separate "Reset" G/L account, not re-using the original unrealized accounts.
• This separation is designed for audit transparency and clearer reporting.

Where are realized Gain/Loss accounts now?

In the Advanced FCV, realized FX differences (e.g., at invoice clearing) are no longer configured via SSCUI 105450.

Instead:

• Realized Gain/Loss G/L accounts are configured under Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Business Transactions > Gain/Loss Realized Exchange Differences.
• Or they are automatically derived via Account Determination for Financial Accounting.

In short: Realized gain/loss accounts are handled by standard postings (e.g., at clearing of open items), not by Advanced FCV.

Where to find the documentation?

Here are the best references:

1. SAP Help Portal – Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation
https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD

Search: “Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation”
(Look for app-specific documentation for Schedule FCV Jobs, Valuation Runs, etc

2. Configuration Help in CBC
In SSCUI 105450, click the “i” (info icon) or the documentation link in CBC to access SAP’s embedded documentation.

I hope this will help answer your question.

Best regards,

Jeremy
