SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FR - Messages for FI Reporting

• Message number: 615

• Message text: Rounding difference &1: &2 val. diff. &3 adjusted &4

What causes this issue?

The valuation of foreign currency balances calculates the valuation
difference for the selected balances for each account assignment level.
During this calculation, rounding differences can cause a deviation
between the total of the valuation differences per account assignment
level and the valuation difference that results from translating the
individual account balances.
In this case, a rounding difference of &V2& (in local currency) was
found for the reference (company code, account, foreign currency key)
&V1&.

System Response

To make sure that the total of valuation differences per account
assignment level is correct after the valuation, the system clears the
rounding differences in the valuation posting and adjusts the amount in
the line item with the highest posting amount. The posting amount of
&V3& (in local currency) has been adjusted and was posted with the
amount of &V4& (in local currency).
