SAP B1 Message 173-17 || Meldung 173-17

Situation:

For testing purposes I wanted to make a manual journal entry to accounts with different currencies.

Expected result:

After checking that the account balance (debit and credit across all accounts) holds true in the default currency, I expect the system to book the journal entry.

Alternatively I expect the system to suggest other accounts on which to book a losses due to currency exchange rate.

Result:

I get the message error 173-17

I don't understand the message. Was just playing around with the functionality as I'm preparing for the Consultant exam.

Hello,

Probably you need to set the accounts in the "G/L Account Determination". Search for this term on SAP B1 menu and make the correct configuration then try again.

Best regards

Hi there,
I did this in preparation of the transaction:

- one account A exclusively in one foreing currency,

- another account B exclusivly in another foreign currency, and

- one account for all currencies C

For the exact solution and how I made it work, see my respone to the comment above.

Kind regards,

  Manuel
