• Message number: 132

• Message text: Keep balance sheet accounts in local currency only

What causes this issue?

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?

For normal balance sheet accounts that record neither items in foreign
currency nor open items, SAP recommends that you record the account
transaction figures in local currency only. You should select the
"Only balances in local curr." checkbox to do this.
Balances in balance sheet accounts are carried forward to the their own
account. Postings made in foreign currency will result in a balance
carried forward in foreign currency. This creates the possibility of
totals accumulating and always being carried forward in different
currencies.
