I am trying to clear the line items of a balance sheet gl account ( short term general liabilities) using t.code F-03.This gl account is specified as "open item Management" and line item display in the GL Master.
The problem is that when I try to clear the line items of the account, an error appears saying" Exchange rate difference accounts are incomplete for the account.
This means that foreign exchange valuation gain/loss accounts have not been assigned to this account.
My question is, why should exchange rate difference accounts be assigned inorder to clear the line items of a gl account?
Is there a setting which makes it mandatory for a gl account to be assigned exchange rate gain/loss accounts??
How do I solve this problem?

Request clarification before answering.
For open item clearing, you must have exchange rate realized gain/loss accounts specified for the accounts you are trying to clear. This must be done in transaction OB09.

Hi,
First of all..why would system need a Exchange gain/Loss Account..If your local currency is INR and you posted a debit and a credit document both in INR..then there is no question of a foreign exchange gain/loss account..
BUT, if you have posted the document in any currency other than INR, ie: your local currency...then the system would need a exchnage gain/loss account when you try to clear the debits and credits.. i am giving an example below to explain better..
You posted a debit of 100 USD @ 40 = Rs. 4000.00
You posted a Credit of 100 USD @ 42 = Rs. 4200.00
Now, if you clear this debit and credit then there is no difference in 100 USD, as the debit and credit is netting off.. but if you see INR there is a difference of Rs. 200.00 which system posts to Exchange gain/loss account..which we maintain in OB09.
Hope it is clear to you now..

In addition to the Experts answers above
Transaction OBA1 - (Automatic Posting - procedures) will be the transaction where you are going to define the Respective GL accounts for the Recon Account of Customer /Vendor
1) Valuation Gain/Loss
2) Realization Gain/Loss
3) Balance Sheet Account.
While Doing valuation if its a loss
Valuation GL account will be Debited
Balance Sheet account will be credited
If its a gain Vice Versa
When you do Realization - if its a Loss
Realization GL Account will be debited
Balance Sheet Account will be credited
