  • What causes this issue?

    In the Implementation Guide (IMG) you chose the Customizing setting
    that stipulates that currency changeover takes place after an account
    balancing.
    Since the balancing prior to the changeover date falls on a non-working
    day, the account is blocked for this balancing. (This applies if the
    balancing posting date is later than the balancing date when the
    balancing is executed). This means you must first carry out the
    currency change before the balancing. This leads to the postings
    resulting from the balancing being made in EURO.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    If this is not what you want, first choose another date for the
    currency changeover or adjust the balancing time periods (key date or
    next date) accordingly.
